I do love Kurt Vonnegutt Jnr – I adore his perceptiveness, light touch and humour.
I am reading Armageddon in Retrospect for the third time. I thought I’d share an extract from the intro by his son Mark on his father:
‘He couldn’t help thinking that all the money we were spending blowing up things and killing people so far away, making people the world over hate and fear us, would have been better spent on public education and libraries. It’s hard to imagine that history won’t prove him right, if it hasn’t already.’
