"Peculiar travel suggestions are dancing lessons from
God."
Kurt Vonnegut, big fan. I also love traveling, and peculiar traveling as well. The new strange experiences that we
absorb through travel affect the psyche and broaden horizons both literal and
figurative. To embrace the odd or
unforeseen is to improvise, to tumble through unknown motions, to learn from whatever
privilege presents. Much like
dancing lessons from God.
Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (1922-2007) was an American author best
known for his satirical dark humor.
A personal favorite of mine, Vonnegut’s style commonly combined science
fiction along with his typical dark humor. He also chronicles some of his wartime experience in Germany
during World War II in several of his novels. His books Cat’s Cradle,
Slaughterhouse Five, and Breakfast of Champions are among his
most popular and widely considered American classics. Vonnegut was an outspoken pacifist, a lifelong supporter of
the American Civil Liberties Union, and was an honorary president of the
American Humanist Association.
