GOD BLESS YOU, MR VONNEGUT
He was a hero of the 1960s counterculture, celebrated for his subversive yet optimistic fiction. It’s a decade since legendary novelist Kurt Vonnegut died, and in his birthplace of Indianapolis they’re marking the occasion with a year of events and the opening of the Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library. Fans can make a pilgrimage to landmarks such as the massive Vonnegut mural overlooking one of Indy’s hip cultural districts, and dine at Bluebeard, named after his 1987 novel. Thirsty for more? Eleven city bars have created Vonnegutinspired cocktails full of references to dark characters and Vonnegutian plots. vonnegutlibrary.org
