Writing Quotes by Michael Dirda

Michael Dirda

[Kurt] Vonnegut was a writer whose great gift was that he always seemed to be talking directly to you. He wasn’t writing, he wasn’t showing off, he was just telling you, nobody else, what it was like, what it was all about. That intimacy made him beloved. We can admire the art of John Updike or Philip Roth, but we love Vonnegut.

Nearly all the writing of our time is likely to disappear in a hundred years. Certainly most readers – and nearly all critics – feel that [Kurt] Vonnegut started to repeat himself, to grow increasingly self-indulgent and meandering, and to sometimes just blather in his later work. But his books up to “Slaughterhouse-Five” do possess a distinctiveness that will insure some kind of permanence, if only in the history of the 1960s and of science fiction.
