Brotherhood 2.0: April 12: Eulogy

At April 13, 2007 , Brian Mandabach said...: Nice work here, Mr. Green. I was teaching yesterday, and the loss of Kurt Vonnegut was with me all day, but I had no chance to really deal with it. Nor did was I ready to. I've been on the moody side lately, and I need to take my time with this one. Vonnegut was huge with me in my youth, I just taught "Harrison Bergeron" last week, and a kid did a book talk on SLAUGHTERHOUSE FIVE in my class the other day. Vonnegut is also all over the novel I'm revising right now, so . . .

The piece you chose was a good one for me, too. I grew up on a midwestern lake--I think you heard my "Icy Illinois" essay--which was not just a summer setting, but my home for the first 18 years of my life and where I made MY first maps of the world.

Thanks.

I look forward to reading the Katherines as well.
