Thread Name: Obit: Farewell, Kurt Vonnegut
Subject: RE: Obit: Farewell, Kurt Vonnegut
Saw an edited set of interviews with Vonnegut on the Charley Rose show. He was interesting in that when Rose asked him about a new book, he explained that he had really said all he had to say. He said "all my books are still in print" and that he saw no need to just 'write for the sake of writing'. He was quite willing to explain and reminisce about his writings...but just laughed when urged to produce more.
