Mr. Smiley Ben,
I though your poem "the Boat" was vey good, it is very Vonnegut, if you haven't read any of Curt's works i suggest you do.

Massive Vonnegut fan - though still haven't read enough of his stuff, it's all sitting on my shelf. Really loved Cat's Cradle, and Harrison Bergeron is a great short story (based an entire political movement on it, I did!), but my question, to a fellow enthusiast:
Do you think Slaughterhouse 5 is a work of Science Fiction?

No fully don't believe that this book is a work of fiction, it is Curt's way of trying to describe a passed Nazis guilt. Modeled after a comic called "V for Ventura" which had the same princeble but more vendictive

I just finished one of Vonnegut's newer works "mother night" I suggest you read it. It's a very interesting tale of an ex-nazi/ American spy.
