What makes Kurt Vonnegut stand out from other writers?
First off, Vonnegut is one of the most powerful anti-war spokespersons we have seen. He will always have a place alongside Bob Dylan, Lynda Barry, Orson Scott Card, Mohandas Ghandi, and all the other soldiers in the War Against War. It's a war we will likely never win, but that's no reason to stop fighting. No one fought harder than Vonnegut.
Beyond his politics, Vonnegut is also a brilliant writer, dishing out a splendid mixture of humor, irreverence and sincere feeling. His voice for satire was umatched. He is not only an inspiration to any modern writer struggling to achieve glory, he is one of the most intelligent and funny comedians of all time. He should be remembered as no less.
