I wish I had a grandpa and I wish that I had Kurt Vonnegut as my grandpa. Is that weird? That’s weird. But true

A Letter From Kurt Vonnegut to Charles McCarthy, read by RM.

In October of 1973, Bruce Severy — a 26-year-old English teacher at Drake High School, North Dakota — decided to use Kurt Vonnegut’s novel, Slaughterhouse-Five, as a teaching aid in his classroom. The next month, on November 7th, the head of the school board, Charles McCarthy, demanded that all 32 copies be burned in the school’s furnace as a result of its “obscene language.” Other books soon met with the same fate.

On the 16th of November, Kurt Vonnegut sent McCarthy the following letter. He didn’t receive a reply.

Give it a listen.

We sat down to read at 9:30 and somehow it’s been almost four hours. Still no sign of stopping soon. Jatzerey is reading “The Maze Runner” by James Dashner which seems to be shocking her every few minutes. (so I’m reading it next). I’m reading “The Sirens of Titan” by Kurt Vonnegut. It’s suuuch a good book whether you’re looking for the meaning of life or just a good read. This might be a new favorite!
