Insightful and witty...
Kurt Vonnegut, one of my favorite writers, died this week in 2007 at 84. He was insightful, thoughtful and witty.
"(Kurt Vonnegut's) own writing career grew slowly, once army service was done," economist.com wrote of his passing.
" He was a crime reporter for the Chicago City News Bureau, a PR writer for General Electric, even a Saab car salesman. He also studied for a master's in anthropology at the University of Chicago. His thesis was rejected, but his novel 'Cat's Cradle' (1963) was accepted instead, almost 25 years late," economist added.
