On NPR this morning, Gore Vidal was suddenly there, calling Kurt Vonnegut a "good science fiction writer," and so I knew he was dead. His work was very important to me growing up and I got to see him read once. I’m grateful for the work, and the reading, and his life. But, boy, does his dying suck.
Here he is on The Long View, judging the state of modern society.
Updated: Christopher’s Vonnegut stories — that’s the same reading I went to that he describes in part 2.
And see Karen Meisner’s post too.
