Shownotes

A deep and stumbling dive into Kurt Vonnegut’s and Suzanne McConnell's 2019 co-biography, co-autobiography, and co-craft book, “Pity the Reader: On Writing with Style.” Scratching the surface of Vonnegut’s writing experience, teaching, and philosophy through finding what you want (really want) to write about, swoops vs. bashers (and what patience lets you do whether you’re one or the other), and a writer’s first duty as entertainer (and what that means for plot and characters).
