Is Kurt Vonnegut any good as an author? Roland00 Send a noteboard - 26/06/2018 07:33:13 PM

I have not read him, but I noticed 3 different references of his books / metaphors in WW.

Kurt Vonnegut first book is Player Piano (1952) and we see that Piano all the time in the Mariposa Saloon, but we also have another one in Ford's office.

The Sirens of Titan (1959) is Kurt's 2nd book and we see in in S2E4 in the 1960s circular room on the bed.

Slaughterhouse-Five (1969) is on the nightstand next to the bed in S2E9.

Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan have mentioned in interviews that Kurt Vonnegut is one of their favorite authors.

So would you RAFOiters recommend him?

So your problem is not the existential angst but the acting of the existential angst? Roland00 - 05/07/2018 06:59:43 PM 400 Views
