Kurt Vonnegut Jr

Vonnegut - in my own handThe literary world recently lost a great talent in Kurt Vonnegut Jr. As a young adult, I recall my favorite Vonnegut books.... "Breakfast of Champions", "Cat's Cradle", and "Welcome to the Monkey House". After his death, I revisited his body of work and found the short story "Harrison Bergeron", the complete text of which is available as a download here. I liked it so much that I copied the entire story in longhand and then made it available as a .pdf file for you. It is a short piece, but reminded me how much I admired and enjoyed his work when I was younger. I hope you take the time to download it and give it a read....as with all his works, you will have food for thought.

Much love to you...
