RIP -- Kurt Vonnegut

Spoiler alert. Every Vonnegut novel ends with the general world, or the writer's world, being destroyed. Now, I guess it's his turn. He was quite interesting, for a lefty. In an interview, he said he wanted the full military burial, to obtain what he was never assured in life -- the unqualified approval of his community. Wonder if he'll get it. Well, may he rest in free-thinkers' heaven.

What the heck does "quite interesting, for a lefty" mean? I thought lefties could at least provide amusement value.

Saw Vonnegut speak, in grad school - he was just as crusty in person as you might imagine. Quite a character, he was.
