Conversations with Kurt Vonnegut

Publisher Marketing: Kurt Vonnegut says: I've worked with enough students to know what beginning writers are like, and if they will just talk to me for twenty minutes I can help them so much, because there are such simple things to know. Make a character want something-that's how you begin. William Rodney Allen teaches English at the Louisiana School for Math, Science, and the Arts.

Contributor Bio:  Vonnegut, Kurt, Jr. Kurt Vonnegut was a master of contemporary American Literature. His black humor, satiric voice, and incomparable imagination first captured America's attention in "The Siren's of Titan" in 1959 and established him as "a true artist" with "Cat's Cradle" in 1963. He was, as Graham Greene has declared, "one of the best living American writers."
