The epitaph on Kilgore Trout's tombstone reads, "Life is no way to treat an animal."
Kurt Vonnegut, Counterculture’s Novelist, Dies
In seventh grade, Ms. Simpson, my English teacher at the time, gave me her dog-eared copy of Slaughterhouse-five. It had notes scribbled all over it, and I absorbed every word of the novel. In the next year or so I think I read every Kurt Vonnegut novel and short story there was. He made me love literature again.
I always said I was going to meet Kurt Vonnegut. I'm sad that I never will be able to. What a great man. He will be missed.
