A sad day…
Kurt Vonnegut passed away today, something that has affected me more than I thought it would. He is one of my favourite authors (if not my favourite), I have always had a huge place in my heart for what he has given me. The first book of his that I read was Breakfast of Champions, and since then I’ve not found anything that can compare to his writing style.
Of all the books of his I have read, the one that tops my list of his is definitely Sirens of Titan, the most cynical book I have read, but still so bizarrely uplifting. If I could write I would want to write like him. He is a hero to me, and it is sad to see him gone.
