A great loss, but may his words live on long after everyone here has crumbled to dust.
Condolences to his friends and family.

Gonna bump this back up. I just found an obituary piece on Huffington.Post.

quotes from Vonnegut's last public speaking appearance. He spoke out, predictably, against the Iraq War and President Bush.
If you're a leftie, his words will inspire as they always did.

My introduction to his works came relatively late...Galapagos in about '87 (published in '85, I believe), but then I went after more of his writings. Great author, and very hard to put his books down. Great loss.
