(12,165 posts)He was funny, of course, and kind, and sad, and very open to new ideas, even late in life. Hes been a major influence on me, and Im glad his ideas continue to resonate.

(21,646 posts)what I later found out were his earlier books piano player cats cradle sirens of titans a lot more than his later works like deadeye dick or slapstick but I have read them all and am better for it
Just the ones written before my time stuck with me more
& Of course I remember you Eliot Rosewater
I was trying to remember the last book out it was essays and found this
Requiem (ending)
When the last living thing
has died on account of us,
how poetical it would be
if Earth could say,
in a voice floating up
perhaps
from the floor
of the Grand Canyon,
"It is done."
People did not like it here.
Kurt Vonnegut, A Man Without a Country, 2005
