- Kurt Vonnegut Jr. 1922 - 2007. One of the most amazing writers of the 20th century. Author of Slaughterhouse-Five, Cat's Cradle, Mother Night, and other great "too good to be sf" novels.
- Lloyd Alexander 1924 - 2007. Author of fantasy novels, mostly for young readers. His most notable series was The Chronicles of Prydain .
Hey Bertie don't forgot to include Lloyd Alexander. His Pyrdain novels were my favorites as a kid and he should also be famous for the size of his nose. The picture in the obituary in Time looks almost as if it's fake, it's so large (maybe part of a fantasy costume).
Hi Rhaam, good to hear from you. I have to admit the name Lloyd Alexander doesn't ring any bells for me; I was much more into sf than fantasy. But for old times' sake I'll look him up and list him.
