Morre o Escritor Kurt Vonnegut

Acabei de abrir o browser e a primeira coisa que leio é sobre a morte do escritor. Péssimo começo de dia.
Na Folha:
"Kurt Vonnegut morreu em Nova York em conseqüência de complicações nas lesões cerebrais provocadas por uma queda há várias semanas, explicou um amigo do autor, Morgan Entrekin."

No New York Times:
" Like Mark Twain, Mr. Vonnegut used humor to tackle the basic questions of human existence: Why are we in this world? Is there a presiding figure to make sense of all this, a god who in the end, despite making people suffer, wishes them well?

He also shared with Twain a profound pessimism. “Mark Twain,” Mr. Vonnegut wrote in his 1991 book, “Fates Worse Than Death: An Autobiographical Collage,” “finally stopped laughing at his own agony and that of those around him. He denounced life on this planet as a crock. He died.”

Not all Mr. Vonnegut’s themes were metaphysical. With a blend of vernacular writing, science fiction, jokes and philosophy, he also wrote about the banalities of consumer culture, for example, or the destruction of the environment"

Na página do Vonnegut, uma bela imagem.
