Why should you read Kurt Vonnegut?

Post by BeNotDeceived »

TED-Ed wrote: Kurt Vonnegut found the tidy, satisfying arcs of many stories at odds with reality, and he set out to explore the ambiguity between good and bad fortune in his own novels. He tried to make sense of human behavior by studying the shapes of stories — ditching straightforward chronologies and clear-cut fortunes. Mia Nacamulli dives into the sometimes dark, yet hopeful works of Vonnegut.
Seeing all things at once, is said to look like spaghetti. :lol:

Simply because he invented the word: chronosynclasticinfindibulum. I love that word, and use it any time I can, appropriate, or not.

I find his writing a bit hit and miss. However Slaughterhouse 5 was pretty poignant since I used to know some people from Dresden. It is probably my favourite German city.
