A much-welcomed perspective into the formative years of both's Kurt's creativity and his soul. If you have ever felt the struggle of pursuing your career while balancing the 'responsibility' of growing older, this set of letters and collection of correspondence will hopefully put your mind at ease a bit as you realize that even one of the greatest writers the world has ever seen struggled to adapt to everyday life.
A very valuable insight into Kurt's mind, his relationship with his family, and his interactions with the world surrounding him.

This is a giant dollop of homemade ice cream on top of the badass fresh-from-the-oven apple pie that is any Vonnegut-lover's heart. But if you like apple pie without ice cream, you'll probably be fine. And if you don't like apple pie, fuck off, you won't like ice cream either because you have a heart of stone.
I think I picked up this book when Borders went out of business (which tells you how long it has been on my TBR pile), but thanks to the Popsugar challenge, it is now read. I have rather mixed feelings about it. A lot of it is details about books/publishing/teaching engagements that isn't, quite frankly, all the exciting or interesting. But with a very paced reading, you see Vonnegut's humor and satire and wit. Honestly, I had forgotten until I read this that I got to see Vonnegut speak not too long before his death. I love Vonnegut and this book has inspired me to go back and reread his books.
Great background detail to some of his novels and the Vonnegut one reads in his novels.
I lost steam with this...it started off so well. Maybe it's just my mood lately.
