Kurt Vonnegut
He died today. I hope he enjoyed his 84 years on Earth.
when I was in my teens, his novels were my introduction to black humor, science fiction and WWII history. In a few graceful gestures he could go from bitterly sad to wickedly funny. I imagine he could be called more of a spewing writer than a thinking writer, but I enjoyed his spewings.
I don't know if he did this his whole life, but he used to add a big sloppy asterisk to the end of his signature. When someone asked him what it was, he replied that it was a drawing of his asshole.
