Kurt Vonnegut, gone but not forgotten

Got an email from Dennis, my friend at book discussion:

Kurt Vonnegut died yesterday. So it goes.

And my reply to him:

"Everything was Beautiful and Nothing Hurts" - the tombstone from (I believe) Slaughterhouse Five.

(I'd not heard of this until I saw your email and I knew what happened just from the subject. Damn.)
