A year ago today, my favorite author Kurt Vonnegut passed away due to the head injuries he suffered from a fall two weeks before. I cried when I heard the news. I loved reading his books. I even once met him back in 1995 at a writer's festival. Just last week, I met his son, Dr. Mark Vonnegut, who is also an author himself. He wrote The Eden Express. Mark wrote the intro to Kurt's new book collection, Armageddon in Retrospect.
In honor of Kurt, here's a song to sum up what he was in life.
"Paperback Writer" by The Beatles (Live in Japan 1966)
