This collection of Vonnegut's letters is the autobiography he never wrote - from the letter he posted home upon being freed from a German POW camp to notes of advice to his children:Don't let anybody tell you that smoking and boozing are bad for you. Here I am fifty-five years old and I never felt better in my life'. Peppered with insights one-liners and missives to the likes of Norman Mailer Gunter Grass and Bernard Malamud Vonnegut is funny wise and modest. As he himself said:I am an American fad •of a slightly higher order than the hula hoop'.Like Vonnegut's books his letters make you think they make you outraged and they make you laugh. Written over a sixty-year period and never published before these letters are alive with the unique point of view that made Vonnegut one of the most original writers in American fiction.
