VONNEGUT, MORE AND LESS
Sad news this. I've been meaning to post on my blog for some days. My personal geographical history has meant that he is not a writer of MY time--I've been introduced to his work--and learnt a lot from others.
Writers I know have been posting links.
Here's an Interview - Vonnegut and Heller
Excerpt: VONNEGUT: The big difference between conservatives and liberals is that killing doesn't seem to bother the conservatives at all. The liberals are chickenhearted about people dying. Conservatives thought that the massacre, the killing, of so many people in Panama was OK. I think they're really Darwinians. It's all right that people are starving to death on the streets because that's the nature of work.
Interview from The Paris Review Interviews: The Art of Fiction No. 64
Vonnegut's death - New York Times
Also you ought to know about Pia Eardhart's book Famous Fathers and check out her tour dates (check out April 11 entry)
And Pia recommended Miranda July's website.
Soon, I'll say more about being back home! Soon, I said.
