Good night, Kurt V.

I was quite saddened to learn of the passing of Kurt
Vonnegut as he was one of my heroes. While I admired
his writing talents, my favorite book of his was
Slaughterhouse Five, I also appreciated the
fact that he spoke his mind about writing, politics,
war, the environment, and so on. Here was a man
trying to make us all a little more sane and human,
through his many "wake up" calls for greater decency
and compassion. God love him for trying so hard, via
his writing, interviews, and so on. He will be
missed.
To read Vonnegut's Paris Review interview click here. In the interview he stated that he hoped for a military funeral when he died so he would finally receive the broad acceptance of his community. Kind of sad, eh? Other parts are a bit more upbeat.
