Kurt Vonnegut dies at age 84
From the International Herald Tribune: (http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/04/12/arts/web-0412obit.php)
"Kurt Vonnegut, whose dark comic talent and urgent moral vision in novels like "Slaughterhouse-Five," "Cat's Cradle" and "God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater" caught the temper of his times and the imagination of a generation, died last night in New York."
Well-written article. If you don't know who Kurt Vonnegut is, you should read it, and then start reading his books.
"When the last living thing
has died on account of us,
how poetical it would be
if Earth could say,
in a voice floating up
perhaps
from the floor
of the Grand Canyon,
'It is done.'
People did not like it here."
K. Vonnegut
