A truly great obituary for a truly great man.

A lot of writers are eulogizing Kurt Vonnegut, who died yesterday at the age of eighty-four, but the simplest and most-to-the-point obituary is written by the Rude Pundit. It's worth printing out for posterity, because it cuts away all the bullshit and gets straight to the meat of things -- just as Vonnegut himself did.

So it goes.

Kurt Vonnegut is dead. He lived to the ripe old age of eighty-four, and died as a result of brain injuries he suffered after a fall. So it goes.

Rest in peace, Mr. Vonnegut. Rest in peace.
