Kurt Vonnegut

“Mr. Vonnegut used humor to tackle the basic questions of human existence: Why are we in this world? Is there a presiding figure to make sense of all this, a god who in the end, despite making people suffer, wishes them well?”

– Dinitia Smith writing on Kurt Vonnegut in the New York Times, 11 April 2007. Kurt Vonnegut died on 11 April 2007 at the age of 84.
