blog 8

1. What stands out to you most in this interview?
What stood out to me was that he dug out bodies from streets. Kurt's book is the reality of what war is yet, libraries tried censoring his work by banning his books.
He gets letters from the Soviet union apologizing for the ban of his books and that they don't ban them there.

2. What experiences led Vonnegut to write Slaughterhouse Five?
Surviving the fire bomb of Dresden. He hid in a cellar.
All of the horrific memories he had from the war. War movies and books that featured Frank Sinatra and the reality is that only innocent kids were fighting the war.

3. Prior to reading Slaughterhouse Five, what would you like to ask KV?
Was there ever a time where you hesitated before publishing this book to the public?
