“My books are mosaics made up of many little chips, each chip is a joke. A joke is a difficult thing to build and make work. I cannot turn out in a day a predictable number of words, my problem is before I put a chip into this mosaic I must make the joke work and if a joke doesn’t work you can tell. I mean it’s just like an automobile, if it doesn’t work the thing won’t go.”
@@stacyVision01 You'll have to ask whoever likely recorded this off of their VCR decades ago and then digitized it. I only found the file deep in the Internet and wanted to share it with other Vonnegut fans.
@@jmk888Thank you for sharing it! I think somebody could probably be re-record it with the background sound removed, but I’m still glad to have had a chance to hear it (albeit the painful noise).
Brilliant portrait of a brilliant man
This is great :)

I love what Kurt Vonnegut has to say here! This is excellent; however, why the painfully out of tune back-ground music?

Sounds on purpose to me 😅
