I devoured almost everything of Vonnegut's long ago and that was about my least favorite, though still good. I thought of it the other day typecasting on my Erika, made in Dresden in 1940. I should have mentioned it then.
ReplyDeleteThat may be the beginning of some synchronicity...keep a lookout for another symbol!
ReplyDeleteWith that being said, I'm even more interested to check out his other works. I know there is a Vonnegut museum down in Indy that I have been thinking about checking out.
I read that one at some point in high school, liked it enough. Then I found Breakfast Of Champions - and it had a profound effect on the way I write. I still can't figure out why exactly it did but I know that as soon as I read the last page I began looking at my style differently.
ReplyDeleteI just bought it on my nook - I have to reread it!! Thanks for the inspiration!
More symbol??? Can't wait!
I read that a couple of years ago. I read it too fast and only picked up some of what was going on. My favorite Vonnegut (I've only read two novels and a few short stories) is Player Piano.
ReplyDeleteYeah, more symbols. And I think the path leads me to Vonnegut's museum in Indianapolis. I just got a text from a buddy that lives down there inviting a bunch of us down for a weekend full of board games. He was the one that recommended Vonnegut in the first place.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe, it was all to get me to write the short story I began last night that starts and ends with Vonnegut's novels...
I kind of feel like I'm in Field of Dreams:)
Loved Slaughterhouse Five. I've read pretty much everything Vonnegut wrote, and that one is still top-shelf in my book. Breakfast of Champions is right up there. Ditto "God Bless You Mr. Rosewater".
ReplyDeleteI went out looking for some more Vonnegut in the used market and came up empty. I do want to read more of his stuff, so I'm glad there are more that are top-shelf.
