Vonnegut -- let's have a cup of tea.


If I ever had the privilege of meeting Kurt Vonnegut, first I'd tell him to quit smoking. Then I'd ask him questions about his novel Slaughterhouse 5. Questions like, how did you end up writing your novel in that form?! What made you so repetitive (not saying it's a bad thing, I actually think it's pretty unique)? How did you come up with a character like Billy? If I had to choose one question though to ask, I would ask how come you wrote your book the way it is, original, repetitive and all over the place? Or did you know people or judges will ban your book, if yes, what made you keep on writing?
