[lbo-talk] Kurt Vonnegut dead at 84 - R.I.P.

[chuck at mutualaid.org]

I think that Vonnegut was probably my first introduction as a teenager to
serious adult mainstream fiction. I can recall being in 7th grade and
reading lots of science fiction. I picked up a copy of Player Piano, one
of his early works, and I remember being challenged by it.

I also happen to be a huge fan of the movie version of Slaughterhouse 5. I
believe that it was directed by the same guy who directed The World
According to Garp.

I will really miss the Mark Twain of our age.
