64. Brix Picks - Kurt Vonnegut Author This year saw the passing of kurt vonnegut and I doubt any lover of books of the past several generations was not saddened by the loss. http://www.brixpicks.com/Kurt_Vonnegut-a-1943.html

Sign In Kurt Vonnegut Author Style Icons (Male) category pick for the week of This year saw the passing of Kurt Vonnegut and I doubt any lover of books of the past several generations was not saddened by the loss. I'm sure that like many of you, I vividly remember my Vonnegut moment. I was in eighth grade and my a pretty progressive English teacher gave us Cat’s Cradle to read. Suddenly a new world was opened to me. Books could be profound and funny! Scifi could be clever and cool! I was smitten with what was my first brush with literary black humor and satire and have since read nearly every novel he’s ever written. Though his legacy as a writer and artist was extraordinary, Vonnegut struggled with depression and survived at least one suicide attempt (as well as the self proclaimed "classy way to commit suicide.” – cigarette smoking). But with as much sadness as he dealt with, he was a kind and devoted man, a man who adopted the orphaned children of his sister who died of cancer. He was a man who could suffer as he observed the absurdities of mankind yet still has this to say: “A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.” He was a true innovator and an inspiration.

VOICE TWO: Kurt Vonnegut And I’m Shirley Griffith with PEOPLE IN AMERICA in VOA Special English. Today we tell about Kurt Vonnegut, a writer and thinker who shook up the country with his unusual writing style and subjects. He helped energize huge numbers of young people to protest the Vietnam War and to always question the powers that be. (MUSIC) VOICE ONE: It took Kurt Vonnegut about twenty-five years to write his most famous book, “Slaughterhouse-Five.” It was published in nineteen sixty-nine. The book remains required reading in high school and college English classes across the country. It includes this description of the fire-bombing of Dresden, Germany, by Allied forces during World War Two, as witnessed by a soldier named Billy Pilgrim:

NEWS YOU WON'T FIND ON CNN Custodians of chaos In this extract from his forthcoming memoirs, Kurt Vonnegut is horrified by the hypocrisy in contemporary US politics By Kurt Vonnegut 06/17/06 " Information Clearing House " "Do unto others what you would have them do unto you." A lot of people think Jesus said that, because it is so much the sort of thing Jesus liked to say. But it was actually said by Confucius, a Chinese philosopher, five hundred years before there was that greatest and most humane of human beings, named Jesus Christ. The Chinese also gave us, via Marco Polo, pasta and the formula for gunpowder. The Chinese were so dumb they only used gunpowder for fireworks. And everybody was so dumb back then that nobody in either hemisphere even knew that there was another one. We've sure come a long way since then. Sometimes I wish we hadn't. I hate H-bombs and the Jerry Springer Show But back to people like Confucius and Jesus and my son the doctor, Mark, each of whom have said in their own way how we could behave more humanely and maybe make the world a less painful place. One of my favourite humans is Eugene Debs, from Terre Haute in my native state of Indiana.

It was quite awhile before order could be restored. Humanists were rolling in the aisles. Should I, God forbid, pass on some time, I hope that some of you will say that Kurt is up in heaven now." -Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007) Kurt is up in heaven now. It's one of my favorite jokes. At some point in our lives, we decide to do something. Perhaps we fall into it unexpectedly, perhaps we always knew. I write. I write badly most of the time, but I write. I started writing after reading a few bestsellers and thinking, "I could do this." Any creative mind ponders it. A singer feels he or she can sing better than Britney or a guitarist shuns punk bands and their three-chord sets.

Like many other teenagers, my formative years were spent reading just about everything he ever wrote.

Dick Breaking Politics News Within the next 24 hours somebody will write "Kurt Vonnegut died yesterday. So it goes." It won't be me. Vonnegut hated the trite and obvious, and he hated sentimentality. But he didn't hate sentiment . He was comfortable with sentiment, despite living in a culture where deep emotion is sometimes treated as a social disorder. In fact, as a writer and public figure Vonnegut was more richly suffused with sentiment than most writers, or for that matter most people, that I know. He had feelings and he wasn't afraid to use them. Anger came up often, and so did outrage. But love showed up just as often. Love, and nostalgia, and hope. All those emotions, each one a pedal on the organ of the human soul. Vonnegut pressed every one when he wrote about politics. And he played on some others, too, like sadness. And fear. And astonishment.
