“(from my introduction to "Letters to a Biographer" assembled by my biographer Greg Johnson, probable pub. date 2024) "Very funny to recall sharing a stage with Kurt Vonnegut in February 2006 under the auspices of the Connecticut Forum, during which Kurt regaled the audience of 2,500 persons, many of them from high school classes, with his bleak, seriocomic pessimism: . . . intoning like a Buddha/tortoise, “Humankind is a disease. We’re like syphilis, we should be stamped out.””
