Kurt Vonnegut
by Kerim
Why is it that so many Vonnegut remembrances describe the same experience?
If you read Kurt Vonnegut when you were young — read all there was of him, book after book as fast as you could the way so many of us did…
That includes Peter Sagal, whose comments I liked better than those in the Times.
It was the same for me. Why is that?
{Vonnegut}
Because once the blindfold comes off, you want to look everywhere.
‘kin right. I had exactly the same experience. I still have the dog-eared editions too. I used Slaughter-house 5 in class but I often couldn’t read from it because it always reduces me to tears.
