RIP
April 11th, 2007
It’s not often that a death moves a person
But for me, when I read about this particular death, I couldn’t help but cry inside. Cry of experiences unrealized, cry of memories unsatisfied. So finally, on April 11, 2007 the literary infallibility of Kurt Vonnegut was overcome by his very human mortality. His mind, rational beyond rationality, will forever be remembered as one of the greatest of the 20th century.
Out of the people I’ve never met before, Kurt Vonnegut has influenced me and my life more than anyone else. And that is why I’ll forever remember him.
