Nov 18, 2008 - In late 1968 or early 1969, while Vonnegut was writing "Slaughterhouse Five," I was attending the University of Michigan when he arrived as a "Writer in Residence." He got bored and left after a week, but before he left he said, "What I'm working on now will be very good. Everything [I write] after that will be bullshit." And he was absolutely right.So it goes.

Nov 18, 2008 - Vonnegut's has usually disparaged his own work. Don't let that fool you. He was aan astoundingly rhythmic and lyrical and clear and ironic and observant and biting and laugh-out-loud funny writer from, I would say, Mother Night or The Sirens of Titan onward, writing prose as fluent as a freshwater stream. And hios nonfiction is equal to any New Journalism around. Check out his article, IN A MANNER THAT MUST SHAME GOD HIMSELF, or else, EXCELSIOR! WE'RE GOING TO THE MOON!
