RIP Kurt Daffodill-13 Vonnegut
If there is one author can be held responsible for creating me it is Kurt Vonnegut. He shuffled off this mortal coil leaving the world a much more enlightened place. He was 84 years old.
The Sirens of Titan was the first truly adult literature I read as a teenager in the Brooklyn Friends School Library. To this day I do not know what drew me to this fantastic book. It doesn't matter really. The truth is it was just meant to be.
Flags will be at half staff in Ilium, New York and Turtle Bay, Manhattan.
I miss him already.
Read one of his books and remember with me.
