There are few writers that leave me breathless, delirious and chuckling all in one sentence. I feel like that about Ray Bradbury, I once felt it for Douglas Adams and I still feel it when I look back at the body of work that Kurt Vonnegut produced. For me he was the major writer of the twentieth century, there is no contest, he came to the post-war table with something different, honest and above all wonderful. Regardless of your views on Vonnegut, there is no doubting the man could write.
Kurt Vonnegut, genius.
