I saw but sadly never met Kurt. His novels as I remember them where hilariously funny in a dark way. Kurt survived the biggest Ally war crime known of WW2. The fire bombing of Dresden. War crime is a loaded gun, its meaning is best expressed by Colonel Kurtz " charging a guy with murder while fighting in Vietnam, is like handing out speeding tickets at the Indianapolis 500" There is no light that can penetrate the heart of darkness, though Kurt and Conrad gave it a good try.
Philp K Dick is the current favorite of the power progressives. He leads with dark and ends with dark. Most of the movies have been bombs, but still Hollywood keeps throwing them out, like minnows so delicious the holy poli Shark must bite.
Maybe we need a bit more Kurt cinema. He used humor to explain the madness.
One of his daughters married Jerry Rivers, who you know as Geroldo Rivera.
The message he gave when I a saw him was simple. Life is a straight line, birth and death. Those that want to put in peaks of excellence are blowing you up.
I must mention the most famous Kurt quote, so obvious but he said it first" and so it goes"
