RIP: Kurt Vonnegut
The literary world lost a giant Wednesday night, with the loss of Kurt Vonnegut. The New York Times reports, "Kurt Vonnegut, Writer of Classics of the American Counterculture, Dies at 84."
The lead graph explains:
Kurt Vonnegut, whose dark comic talent and urgent moral vision in novels like "Slaughterhouse-Five," "Cat's Cradle" and "God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater" caught the temper of his times and the imagination of a generation, died Wednesday night in Manhattan. He was 84 and had homes in Manhattan and in Sagaponack on Long Island.
