I remember a Rolling Stone piece on him years ago where he came out of the screening of the movie version of
Slaughterhouse Five
and Susan Sontag told him she liked it. Then she asked what he thought, and he said, "Margaret Mitchell and I are the only two writers that can't bitch about their movie adaptations."
It's a good movie too.
It's a good movie too.
It *really* is. Except I always wanted to see the Tralfamadorians.
Our friend Keith directed
Mother Night,
which is not a bad film at all. Nick Nolte is very good in it. Keith got to meet with Vonnegut to discuss the script and Ii htink it is one of the high points of his life. He reported that he was a wonderful man.
Mother Night is quite the underrated movie. The premise of the book is wonderful, too.

He's done some interesting literary adaptions. A MIDNIGHT CLEAR really stuck with me.
He's a very good director and the nicest person ever, as is his wife, Rachel.
Anyone own Bambara's Gorilla, My Love and a scanner? I need a couple of short stories from that book by Wednesday, and the library can't get it to me by then (stupid Monday is a holiday in MA).
Best. Book. Promotional. Website. Ever: [link]
(for Miranda July's new collection of short stories)
That website is wonderful.
Oh, that was brilliant. And that book is now on my Amazon list, even though short stories aren't usually my bag.
