Dan Wakefield
Kurt Vonnegut fans will have the chance to delve into his most intimate thoughts through an extraordinary collection of his personal correspondence. Spanning a sixty-year period and compiled by his lifelong friend Dan Wakefield, Kurt Vonnegut: Letters (Delacorte Press, $35.00) bears all the hallmarks of Vonnegut’s fiction—sometimes biting and satirical, at other times achingly sweet, and always alive with his unique point of view. Wakefield, who befriended Vonnegut in 1963, is a novelist and screenwriter whose books include the bestselling novel Going All the Way and the memoir New York in the Fifties.
