Kurt Vonnegut

...is still a crank and a cranky old man, but he remains a brilliant writer and observer of the human condition.

When I read Galapagos, or possibly Bluebeard, I was overwhelmed by a mental nausea that anyone belonging to the human race could loathe the entire concept of humanity so profoundly. Not dislike a person, or a group of persons -- but harbor contempt for and hatred of the whole mess, all the way to the core. Nothing in his article today serves to change my opinion -- Vonnegut hates the species, and sees nothing in it but mud.
