American novelist Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. has died Wednesday at 84, due to brain injuries which were the result of a fall several weeks ago. Vonnegut was throughout his life controversial, disdained, adored, but either way, always preeminent and influential. He is survived by his wife and daughter, as well as six grown children from his first marriage.
