Kurt Vonnegut was a genius.

Interviewer: "Any advice to aspiring authors, Mr. Vonnegut?" Kurt Vonnegut: "Yes I do. Throw in a semicolon once in a while. Show your readers that you went to college."

deliciously savage

"Elmore Leonard meets Nabokov, Michael Crichton meets Vonnegut, Carl Hiaasen meets Joseph Heller. And it has what is probably the best gunfight in literary history."

I saw a similar lecture of Mr. Vonnegut’s at age 10 or 11. He was just as graceful as this and the last arc he drew was The Metamorphosis a la Kafka. Start low, go lower. So it goes.

I have seen this clip an embarrassing number of times. It's so enjoyable.

Yep

This is so good. Never gets old. Still piss myself
