par la même occasion, je vous conseille de lire cet autre article de kurt vonnegut, i love you, madame librarian: "i want to congratulate librarians, not famous for their physical strength or their powerful political connections or their great wealth, who, all over this country, have staunchly resisted anti-democratic bullies who have tried to remove certain books from their shelves, and have refused to reveal to thought police the names of persons who have checked out those titles. so the america i loved still exists, if not in the white house or the supreme court or the senate or the house of representatives or the media. the america i love still exists at the front desks of our public libraries."

kilgore trout est mort!
incroyable mais tristement vrai: dévasté par l'impression que w bush sera réélu, cette vieille canaille de kilgore trout s'est suicidé au draino vendredi soir dernier. cet écrivain raté était à la fois un personnage de l'écrivain américain kurt vonnegut et, sous la plume de plusieurs, un véritable auteur. vonnegut a discuté avec son avatar peu de temps avant son départ, cet entretient est publié sur le site in these times sous le titre requiem for a dreamer: "the overwhelming popularity of president bush, in spite of everything, finally shows us what the american people, whom we have so sentimentalized for so long, a la norman rockwell, really are, thanks to tv and purposely lousy public schools: ignorant. count on it!"
