Pity the Reader
“A rich, generous book about writing and reading and Kurt Vonnegut as writer, teacher, and friend . . . Every page brings pleasure and insight.”—Gail Godwin, New York Times bestselling author 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. His former student, Suzanne McConnell, has outfitted us for the journey, and in th...
Summary of Kurt Vonnegut & Suzanne McConnell's Pity the Reader
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 There is a five-paragraph introduction to Vonnegut’s advice series. He suggests that you find a subject you care about and which you in your heart feel others should care about. It is this genuine caring, and not your games with language, which will be the most compelling and seductive element in your style. #2 The author’s father had a list of criteria for when he thought a letter was successful. The letter had to be serious, but it could be written in a playful manner. #3 I will observe the following minor amenities: I will hang up my clothes and put my shoes in the closet when I am not wearing them, I will not track dirt into the house needlessly, and I will throw such things as used up match folders, empty cigarette packages, and the piece of cardboard that comes in shirt collars into a wastebasket instead of leaving them around on chairs and the floor. #4 You must care enough about something to write well about it. You must be willing to put in the time and effort to write well about it.

The Dreaming Girl
Fiction. Introduction by Luisa Valenzuela. A young American traveler in Belize has a brief affair with a man known only as the German. In THE DREAMING GIRL, Roberta Allen's exquisite and incantatory language slyly manifests how reality may be bent and blurred by desires hidden even to ourselves. " A] literary descendant of Duras, Allen places her unnamed narrator in an exotic Central American limbo that propels her mind into a mesmerizing state somewhere between memory and fantasy" Ken Foster, The Village Voice. "A choral work where there are endless variations on the same theme, each beautifully developed... The girl's jungle is not some Henri Rousseau sketch conjured second-hand after an afternoon spent at the Jardin de Plants. Rather it has the precision of field notes written by a solipsistic ecologist" Mary Mackey, The American Book Review. "Roberta Allen transmits the pain and compensating strangeness of living in vignettes as urgent and enigmatic as telegrams" John Ashbery."
