Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Gone To Blue

Kurt Vonnegut Jr. 1922-2007

I’ve read everything the man ever published, most numerous times. Indeed, I’ve read Breakfast of Champions every year for the last 30 years. He was one of the greatest influences on my own writing. I will miss him.

“Everything that ever was always will be, and everything that ever will be always was.”
The Sirens of Titan - Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

  4. Amazing how old Vonnecut was. We were lucky to have him as long as we did. What a lasting impression he left.
