Happy Centenary Kurt Vonnegut Jnr

The writer who predicted much the modern world
through lamenting and lampooning the direction
it was going in. Here is an article for the reader
who is new to this author where his books
are celebrated, worst, none of them really bad,
 to the best which are hard to put down once started.   

 

'Perhaps When We Remember Wars

we should take off our clothes, paint ourselves blue,
and go on all fours all day and grunt like pigs.
That would surely be more appropriate than noble oratory,
and shows of flags and well oiled guns'
-Kurt Vonnegut (from 'Cat's Cradle')
