From the Archives: Vonnegut on Writing and Censorship.
Author Kurt Vonnegut. Perhaps his most famous book, the anti-war novel"Slaughterhouse Five," has been rereleased in a twenty-fifth anniversary edition (Delacourte Press). Based on Vonnegut's own experiences during the Dresden firebombing during the Second World War, the novel was a cultural icon at the height of popular protest against the war in Vietnam. (REBROADCAST FROM MAY, 1986.)
