VONNEGUT'S FINAL CHAT WITH KILGORE TROUT
Kurt Vonnegut's "Requiem for a Dreamer" is making the rounds. It's a conversation between Vonnegut and out-of-print science fiction writer Kilgore Trout, and turned out to be their last:
Trout committed suicide by drinking Drano at midnight on October 15 in Cohoes, New York, after a female psychic using tarot cards predicted that the environmental calamity George W. Bush would once again be elected president of the most powerful nation on the planet by a five-to-four decision of the Supreme Court, which included "100 per-cent of the black vote."
And we thought there might be a glimmer of hope?
