The King is Dead

King Kurt, that is.

We've always been big fans here at C&S. His sense of life's absurdity, his awareness of the human capacity to do both great good and great evil, and, most of all, his fantastic sense of humour, will all be hugely missed.

and yet Bo Fowler of "Skepticism Inc?" 'fame' is still alive, but thankfully not appearing to write any more terrible Vonnegut-clone novels.

I assume they all missed the publication of Man Without a Country then. Or did they think it was posthumous?

"Without a Country, it's, like, a metaphor, for being dead, right?"
