He died last night.
I can't think of another writer whose ideas had more of an influence on me than Vonnegut, unless it was Bill Gaines, the old publisher of Mad Magazine. I was about fourteen or fifteen when I first read Slaughterhouse Five, one of the best books about war ever written. I've since read just about everything he wrote. Some would say he was bleak and cynical. I think his view was normal and truthful of the world and the way it is.
