Mathew's comments: Kurt Vonnegut — so it goes

  • Mark Dowds · 2 years ago
    Mathew, I share your sadness. I discovered Vonnegut quite late at a Douglas Coupland reading. Douglas Coupland (one of my favorite authors) rated him as his inspiration and model. On that note I bought 8 of his books and devoured them over the last few years. Stories of Tramalfadore (spelling?) etc will last in my mind for years to come. A sad day

    I'd never before made the connection between Vonnegut and Zevon - but now it makes perfect sense. Thanks for that. Is it just me, or do we need Vonnegut now more than ever?

    I think we need them both now more than ever :-)

    Strange coincidence -- I was in Victoria on vacation, completely disconnected from any news and buying several used Vonnegut paperbacks at exactly the time this happened.

    The latest On the Media podcast has a great radio piece by Vonnegut recorded some years ago.
