Vonnegut's Ratings
Here is a video of Kurt Vonnegut grading his books.
From here, you can see from his point of view which of his books did he consider an "A+".
Of course, having spend 20 years to write, Slaughterhouse Five, was one of the three A+, along with Cat's Cradle, and Mother Night.
This short video further reinforces my ideas about Kurt Vonnegut from Slaughterhouse Five. Although with every reason to be pessimistic, he accepted what he received, both the good and the bad.Unlike some authors, Kurt Vonnegut accepts what the critics say because "they knew more about it than [himself]".
As well, he does not ask for more than bargained, with just being happy that all his books were in print, and spoke for himself. I also discovered that even when talking, Kurt Vonnegut spoke with a sense of humor that was both funny, and can make one uncomfortable.
In my opinion, there would be a lot less conflict in this world if only just a few people learned Kurt Vonnegut.
