Kurt Vonnegut, author of Slaughterhouse Five, Breakfast of Champions, Cat's Cradle, and many, many more classic novels, died last night at the age of 84.
It's a crock of shit that he doesn't have a Nobel Prize for Literature and so many authors who no one read before they won and no one reads after they won do. Vonnegut, to me, will go down as one of the most astute observers of the post-war era, of its dehumanization and alienation. And his books are pretty damn funny too.
