My Kurt Vonnegut post
by Brian Brown (follow me on Twitter): April 13, 2007This post has nothing to do with business blogging, so it will be short.
By coincidence, I began reading Vonnegut's The Sirens of Titan five days ago. Kurt Vonnegut died yesterday. I just finished the book. Here are the last lines of the book:
"Get in," he said
"And go where?" said Constant.
"Paradise," said Stony.
"What's Paradise like?" said Constant.
"Everybody's happy there forever," said Stony, "or as long as the bloody Universe holds together. Get in, Unk. Beatrice is already there, waiting for you."
"Beatrice?" said Unk, getting into the space ship.
Stony closed the airlocks, pressed the on button.
"We're--we're going to Paradise now?" said Constant. "I--I'm going to get into Paradise?"
"Don't ask me why, old sport," said Stony, "but somebody up there likes you."
Goodbye Uncle Kurt.
