Kurt Vonnegut is the greatest writer of our time, he wrote Slaughter House 5, Cats Cradle, and God Bless You Dr. Kevorkian.

He was a good socialist.

Quote:
Kurt Vonnegut was a unique voice in American literature. His novels speak of the dark tragedy of the human condition while still remaining comical. His quirky, plain-speaking style mixes elements of science fiction and stylistic invention. He comments on the destructive stupidity of the human species, while retaining as a self-proclaimed humanist and socialist, an acceptance and even love for our frailty.


Quote:
Vonnegut's humanism was all of a piece with his avowed socialism. Even amongst left-leaning, liberal Americans, 'socialism' has never been a popular word. Vonnegut cited as his inspiration Eugene V Debs16, leader of the American Socialist Party and five-time presidential candidate in the early twentieth century. He reminds us that we can be dissidents.

It's so sad that he had to go. He was definitely one of the best authors of the last half century.

84 years is a good run for a smoker.

"Vonnegut reportedly smoked Pall Mall cigarettes, unfiltered, which he claimed is a 'classy way to commit suicide.'"

Huh? I thought it was Mr Rosewater. Whatever. He was very good. The best of our time? I don't think so. So it goes.

Not quite as good as Isaac Asimov but far better then Phillip K. Dick.
