Kurt Vonnegut Jnr RIP

"I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center."

Just heard the sad news that Kurt Vonnegut died last night. Always enjoyed the man's writing: offbeat, terrifying, confusing, hilarious, sometimes at the same time.

Got into his writing through his masterpiece Slaughterhouse Five (inspired by his experiences as a WWII POW, hiding out in an underground abattoir while the people of Dresden burned above him.)

Also highly recommend his early work Cats Cradle.
Dogmatika
have some excellent links to his life and work.

So long...
