Was there ever a more charming letter writer than Vonnegut?

slatevault:

In which Kurt Vonnegut modestly offers his talents to the JFK campaign. Our favorite line? “On occasion, I write pretty well.” http://slate.me/11QNcwA

“On occasion, I write pretty well.” The brilliance of Vonnegut is how he can snap you awake and introduce you to his general world view with just a few simple but well placed words.

The closest I ever came to this in my writing was when I filled in “mildly vain” on a coffee shop job application form that asked me what I thought my weaknesses were.

Nov. 5, 1922: Lulu McGrath is greeted by a diver in “Wonders of the Sea,” filmed off the Bahamas during the early days of underwater motion pictures. A report the following spring on a project by J.E. Williamson, the film’s director, related the perils of camera work at the time: “Not so very long ago, an intrepid photographer, when attempting to get a picture from an airplane of the crater of Vesuvius, just saved himself from falling into the seething, angry lava. This same cameraman, who is employed by Fox News, had another narrow escape from death in an airplane a few weeks ago. But he is inoculated with the spirit of adventure and keeps going.” Photo: The New York Times

Since Thatcher passed away this week, it only feels right to share Adam Curtis’ Century of the Self again. Whatever your views on Thatcher, this offers a unique take on developments in the 20th century that impacted on her and, in turn, the rest of us.
