Written over a sixty-year period, the letters in this collection include the years Vonnegut experienced as a struggling writer, intimate rememberances penned to school classmates, fellow veterans, friends and family, and commiseration and encouragement to contemporaries such as Godwin and Malamud. His personal correspondence was always alive with the unique point of view that made him the heir to Mark Twain and the letters comprise the autobiography that Kurt Vonnegut never wrote.
