Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Pity the Reader reveals an entirely new side of Kurt Vonnegut, Vonnegut as a teacher of writing. Of course he's given us glimpses before, with aphorisms and short essays and articles and in his speeches. But never before has an entire book been devoted to Kurt Vonnegut the teacher. Here is pretty much everything Vonnegut ever said or wrote having to do with the writing art and craft, altogether a healing, a nourishing expedition. McConnell has outfitted us for the journey, and in these 37 chapters covers the waterfront of how one American writer brought himself to the pinnacle of the writing art, and we can all benefit as a result. Kurt Vonnegut was one of the few grandmasters of American literature, whose novels continue to influence new generations about the ways in which our imaginations can help us to live. Few aspects of his contribution have not been plumbed-fourteen novels, collections of his speeches, his essays, his letters, his plays-so this fresh view of him, co-written by a former student, is a bonanza for writers and readers and Vonnegut fans everywhere.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Kurt Vonnegut used to like to say, 'Practicing an art form is a way to grow your soul.' He would screw up his lips into a prune face after he said this because of how important he believed this idea to be. Pity the Readeris the very embodiment of that idea, a book about writing and life and why the two go together.It includes rare photos and reproductions, Vonnegut's own account in his own words of how he became a writer and why it matters, and previously untold stories by and about Vonnegut as teacher and friend.It turns out he was generous to a fault about students' writing, idiosyncratic, a bit tortured and always creative as a teacher, and here in this book that portrait becomes our gateway into getting to know Kurt Vonnegut better than we ever have before as a human being.Vonnegut recounts that his favorite work of art among all those his children produced 'so far' is a letter his daughter Nanette wrote to a disgruntled customer, after he had tormented a new waitress at the restaurant where she had just started working, and then he shares the letter with us. Thus he illustrates his first writing rule: 'Find a subject you care about.' This book is full of such rare, intimately teachable moments, and they add up to something special. Pity the Reader indeed. 448 pp. Englisch.…
