520    "Here is 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, written by a former student, is a bonanza for writers
       and readers and Vonnegut fans everywhere"--|cProvided by
