geomouse Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 One of my favourite authors. I read most of his stuff by the time I was twenty and he opened my mind with the jaws of life. I'm down for a redo. Think I'll start with Galapagos.RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisley Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 why was he good?to quote Douglas Brinkley from Rolling Stone (who put it well)"In the annals of American literature, Vonnegut has been categorized as a black-humorist -- a post-Hiroshima novelist who encouraged readers to laugh at the ghastly absurdity of the modern condition. More than any other fiction writer, Vonnegut has been unafraid to peer into the apocalyptic abyss of our lives." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freak By Night Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned Vonnegut's monumental appearance in the movie "Back to School", with Rodney Dangerfield. Truly one of cinema's finest moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
