Thanks especially for the Boing Boing link-- I hadn't seen that yet. Been having a bit of a Vonnegut revisit myself these past couple of days: there are a bunch of terrific tributes and interviews with Kurt over on NPR that you might like. Also an archive of the essays he wrote for In These Times (many of which are in A Man Without a Country, but you might enjoy them anyway.
I miss him. We need writers like Vonnegut.

Ooh, cheers for the links. Boing Boing have added a couple more in the last day or so too, I liked Vonnegut's rules for short stories.
We do indeed need writers like him. It's very sad.
