Kurt Vonnegut has died

[gummy d]

GTL,
I agree that Cormac is in a differnet league. To me he towers over American literature. He can't be touched.
On a different note, I happened to see the eulogy given to Kurt by Britt Hume of Fox News. After giving him props and highlighting his leftist leanings, he concluded by saying he died "such an unhappy man". FUUUCKKKK YYOOOUUUUUU MURDOCH(K)!

Well said. That's why Fox News hired him, most likely.

If you want a kinder word on your deathbed from Fox, die Republican.

of course he died unhappy, he was a [censored] writer - the only writers who die happy are those who die of a heroin overdose.

still doesn't need to be said.

also lol at Stephen King being mentioned as a giant of American literature - maybe if he hadn't cranked out 4 books a year and decided to forgo editors.

A lot of them undergo the disaster of becoming happy, too, and suddenly have nothing more to write about. Or else they find out they like living well better than writing, and sell out and just push out one fat stinking turd after another.
