Lovely tribute to a wonderful American. I couldn't get the video to work, however...
RIP The Best Writer I Ever Read
It's a nice piece of literary history that Cornell Daily Sun is part of. Here in England, I've been hitting the bookshop every time a new Vonnegut book crossed the Atlantic ever since 1977, when I first read him. I'm going to miss that pedestrian pilgrimage to drop in on an irreplaceable talent so much.
