Remembering Kurt Vonnegut
Kurt Vonnegut, one of America’s most respected authors, died yesterday at the age of 84 as a result of a brain injury suffered from a fall that took place several weeks ago. Titles like Slaughterhouse-Five and Player Piano are widely taught in American Literature courses at Universities and Colleges. The wit and satirical depictions of modern society in his writing off-set the themes of searching for meaning in a confused world.
