Read in December, 2000
recommends it for:
anyone interested in the mechanisms and dynamics of creative writing.
this tiny thin book is basically a transcript of a conversation between the great Kurt Vonnegut and Lee Stringer (who then had just released his memoir of homelessness, Grand Central Winter).
In this rich conversation, the 2 authors discuss their own approaches to writing and their relationship with the craft.
This book is a must for anyone interested in writing. It has taught me a lot.

anyone who misses Kurt Vonnegut
Super quick read (like maybe an hour?). Just nice to sort of read some more words from Vonnegut since he won't be writing to us anymore.

Great insight on society and the purpose of artistic pursuits. Highly recommended for a short plane trip or an hour of desperation.

To fantastic writers shooting the shit, oddly not as interesting or helpful and one might expect.
