Kurt Vonnegut dead at 84

[Matthew Ryan]

Kurt Vonnegut, whose dark comic talent and urgent moral vision in novels
like "Slaughterhouse-Five," "Cat's Cradle" and "God Bless You, Mr.
Rosewater" caught the temper of his times and the imagination of a
generation, died last night in Manhattan. He was 84 and had homes in
Manhattan and in Sagaponack on Long Island.
His death was reported by Morgan Entrekin, a longtime family friend, who
said Mr. Vonnegut suffered brain injuries as a result of a fall several
weeks ago.
