Transitions - Kurt Vonnegut
Kurt Vonnegut, one of the major modern American writers, died yesterday in New York. He was 84 years old.
Some of his earlier works (Player Piano, Cat's Cradle) had him labeled as a Science Fiction writer.
His “Slaughterhouse Five”, which was published during the Vietnam War, used the Allied bombing of Dresden during WWII to exemplify human cruelty and destructiveness in all wars.
Helluva writer.
