Letters by Kurt Vonnegut
5.0
When I was in high school Timequake was released. After reading that this would be Vonnegut's final novel, a friend who liked his writing as much as me encouraged me to write a letter to Vonnegut showing my appreciation for his writing and saying that he shouldn't quit writing novels because the world needs more writers like him. (We also likened ourselves to me being Eliot Rosewater, she being Billy Pilgrim because I introduced her to Vonnegut. I liked that because I got to be Eliot, my favorite of Vonnegut's characters. She is now married with a baby, and I've only contemplated being a volunteer fireman)
I'm not sure he ever got that letter or that I sent it to the right place even. Reading this collection of letters was in a way a reply to that short note I sent 17 years ago. It gives you insight into what was going on while each book was being written. I like that better than reading an in depth analysis of a novel. I don't think I could read an analysis of Vonnegut's work anyway because my own opinions are too strong.
Long story short, if you are fan of Vonnegut's writing then reading this book would be time well spent. If you aren't a fan, then I don't know what to tell you.
