Few authors in our time have managed to influence so many different generations. And much less become anti-war icons of the counterculture, and of humanism. Perhaps that is why the figure of Kurt Vonnegut is so current and his letters are so relevant, even today.This volume is a vast, rigorous, and complete compilation of Vonnegut's correspondence, spanning from the 1940s, at his dawn as a writer, to the early years of the 21st century. The collection includes personal and professional emails in which it is possible to glimpse the human dimension of the man, rather than the author, who addresses his interlocutors with the tranquility, confidence and honesty that the intimacy of these texts provides. At the same time, he describes in detail the process of creating and editing his works, offering a perfect guide to accompany the reading of his novels and place them in context or reread them in a new light.
