Written by Vonnegut's student Susanna McConnell, this book collects a large number of Vonnegut's words and writings in the field of writing, revealing his journey to becoming a writer and sharing his views on writing and life: Vonnegut guides us to hate war, to sympathize with our characters, to respect others, to question rigid structures, to care deeply, to strive for decency, to laugh heartily, and to tell useful lies.
Reader comments
Vonnegut said, "To laugh heartily, to tell useful lies." This sentence reminds me of those funny little lies I shared with my partner when I was passionately in love, which are actually a kind of spice of life. This book not only taught me the skills of writing, but also made me understand the true meaning of writing - it is not only an expression, but also a kind of entertainment. Just like being in love, it makes us feel the beauty and joy of life.
Very helpful for writing and understanding all aspects of writing;
