Perhaps because Vonnegut is not a literary intellectual--he studied chemistry and
anthropology in college--that he gives ingratiating interviews. Or perhaps because
his entree into writing was journalism, that he is leery of boring any prospective
reader. The peppery wit and sweet/sour philosophy that delight his readers also spices
his conversation. Vonnegut talks about writers and writing in a nonstuffy, unacademic
way. He is more concerned about morals and politics than aesthetics, with good punch
lives rather than realistic dialogue. His concerns are nearly the same as those of
the average person. They recommend his novels to many who read little fiction, and
they give his conversation a common appeal. ISBN 0-87805-357-3
