"When Hemingway killed himself he put a period at the end of his life; old age is more like a semicolon . . . My father, like Hemingway, was a gun nut and was very unhappy late in life. But he was proud of not committing suicide. And I'll do the same, so as not to set a bad example for my children."
~ Kurt Vonnegut (qtd. in 2005)
Ingenious writer and humorist Kurt Vonnegut entered immortality on Wednesday. His best known work is the controversial "Slaughterhouse Five," a novel which blended social commentary with science fiction.
