I just discovered, oddly enough through WordPress.com’s Tag Surfer feature, with the tag “Miscellany,” that one of my two favorite authors died last week. Which also means I discovered that up until a week ago, he was still alive.
If you’ve never read any Kurt Vonnegut, try some this week, or month, or year. You might hate it, you might like it, you might hate some of his ideas and absolutely love the way he writes about them, you might find some comfort and catharsis in his cocktail of absurdity, meaninglessness, kindness, humanity, beauty…
And so it goes.
