Sad news

Kurt Vonnegut is dead.

During my youthful existentialist period, his writing helped me make sense of the world. Even thought I no longer see the world as he did, I am saddened by the passing of this witty, talented writer of books which- whatever one may think of them philosophically- never failed to entertain.

My reaction to this morning's news was about the same as yours. I never met Vonnegut but I'll miss him. He was influential in my writing life.

I blogged about his death -- and what it meant to me as a fan and an author myself -- at Under The News
