Inside the Absurdist Mind of Kurt Vonnegut | It's Lit

Video Description

Take the PBS Digital Studios audience survey: https://to.pbs.org/2021survey For more It’s Lit, subscribe to Storied: http://bit.ly/pbsstoried_sub It can be said that there are two types of fiction writers - those who take a backseat and let their work take the spotlight, and those who are as iconic as their work, sometimes even more so. But maybe there’s a third type - a type of writer whose complex persona is so intertwined with their fiction - that to ignore them as a person would be to ignore their work entirely. In this episode, we explore the life and work of Kurt Vonnegut. Hosted by Lindsay Ellis and Princess Weekes, It’s Lit! is a show about our favorite books, genres, and why we love to read. It’s Lit is made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities: Exploring the human endeavor.
