Happy Kurt Vonnegut Day!
Happy Kurt Vonnegut & Veterans Day weekend...an interesting convergence of holidays. How wonderful that the WWII veteran, survivor of Dresden & author of Slaughterhouse Five should be celebrated on this day. I will take away 5 demerits from Mayor Bloomberg for this. Who says Billionaires have no sense of humor? Huzzah, Bloomie. I highly recommend 'Bluebeard', which I finished just recently. The protagonist is a survivor of the Armenian genocide. It is a beautiful, funny, moving book -- like all of KV's work. Something tells me KV is a non-believer...
