So It Goes-
In Memory of Kurt Vonnegut
Famed writer Kurt Vonnegut has died at age 84. The author of such classics as Slaughterhouse Five and Cat's Cradle was one of those very influential writers in the 60s. His unique and offbeat vision (and version) of the world was perfect for those times when the world as we saw it was surely off kilter.
Put him into today's context and we may find he is just as important to read today. Life changes, the world changes, but great literature always speaks. Billy Pilgrim, the hero of Slaughterhouse Five would be an apt name for today.
So it goes.
