Kurt Vonnegut gets the period to his life.

I heard on the news this morning that Kurt Vonnegut has died. I know he has a contentious place within some people’s minds given his disdain for his sfnal following but Slaughterhouse 5 remains one of the finest anti-war novels. I may not always agree with him and his views but I feel that we need more writers with his passion for what is right and wrong with the world.

He mentioned that he felt old age was a semi-colon to life rather than the period of death.
