Kurt Vonnegut R.I.P.


the cosmos plucked another one from us:
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 Manhattan. He was 84 and had homes in Manhattan and in Sagaponack on Long Island.

so it goes..

Suddenly, the term "modern literature" got a lot less cool. He will be missed.

rip

yes the "classic litterature" underestimates too often the sociological analyze and the "avant-garde" (not futuristic) vision of our society that you can read in the books of the sci-fi writers..

I'm digging a lot Robert Silverberg's work
