Changes

In answering his brother’s question about why people need to know something about an artist’s life before even bothering to gain a more comprehensive appreciation, Vonnegut offered a written explanation, stating that artists need to be known about, at least a bit, as their work is ultimately part of conversations with people they hope to reach. Job applications, fierce objections and words of encouragement to friends and family make up a volume that, in my opinion, does a better job than a biography might at allowing me to get to know Vonnegut.
