Kurt Vonnegut: So It Goes

In this interview, Kurt Vonnegut—iconoclastic writer of science fiction and satire—discusses his family history, how he got his start as an author, his experiences in World War II, his obsession with the betrayal of humankind by science, and his vision of technology gone mad. Delving into the psyches of his characters, he even enters into a dialogue with his fictional alter ego, Kilgore Trout. Dramatizations and excerpts from Slaughterhouse-Five, Breakfast of Champions, Cat’s Cradle, and Deadeye Dick bring the offbeat yet vivid world of Vonnegut’s stories to life. Contains mature themes. (61 minutes)
