Delurking in shared sorrow. Kurt is one of my favorite authors ever. Breakfast of Champions really influenced me in high school, it helped me to question authority (in a good way).
Stop Smiling magazine had a wonderful article/interview with Kurt last August. They've posted it online as a tribute.
May he rest in peace! Warped as he was, he was an excellent writer... much like someone else I know (hint, hint)

I titled my post the very same thing.
It was either that or Boku-Maru in Unitarian Heaven.

Kurt Vonnegut is dead? So it goes, indeed. How is it not on CNN.com yet? I knew I hated them for a reason. Stupid crappy newsertainment.

Forgive me.... I had to google him. Can we blame the public education system?
