His writing has brought me pleasure and caused me to think for half a century. I am so grateful that he lived and thought and felt and wrote. So sorry that he died.Maya's Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12183715043200608144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18791538.post-66382527394050854232007-04-12T19:30:00.000-06:002007-04-12T19:30:00.000-06:00So it goes.So it goes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18791538.post-27417413743799681252007-04-12T13:44:00.000-06:002007-04-12T13:44:00.000-06:00Photo credit: New York TimesPhoto credit: New York TimesBigMitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07080098946949894183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18791538.post-49927465602073519942007-04-12T13:41:00.000-06:002007-04-12T13:41:00.000-06:00I first read Vonnegut in the early sixties.

From 1965 to 1969 I was in college and read alot more of Kurt's stuff but now it took on different meanings against the backdrop of Vietnam and social change. One of the things I most appreciate about Kurt was that he was of my father's generation ( WW2 vets ) and was able to gracefully bridge the gap between generations so easily, putting the lie to the media driven "generation gap" hype. He will be missed and remembered.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
