@simsa03 I first heard Glenn Gould play Bach on the soundtrack of the movie Slaughterhouse Five, about 1975. I saw the movie because I had read all of Vonnegut's books (in print at that time). Gould on the soundtrack may have been what led me to Bach's music in the first place. I'm not absolutely sure: 46 years ago. Gould playing Bach triggers the manic twitch in my body. I vibrate and my hands become sockpuppet piano players.

Apropos - it was truly brilliant to be back in after literally 30 years since my first visit..

What a phoenix the city, actually literally is. Incredibly beautiful in the centre and culturally vibrant too.

The message on the front of the is very on point too.
"we can rebuild everything except the "

Would love to come back to spend more time working and beinghere if my TU Dresden collaborators are listening out there.. 😊

Today in Labor History February 13, 1945: 25,000 civilians died when the Allies firebombed Dresden. In a three-day period, they dropped 3,900 tons of explosives and incendiaries, reducing six square miles of the city to rubble. Kurt Vonnegut was a prisoner of war in Dresden during the bombing. He wrote about it in his novel, “Slaughterhouse-Five.”

Another Friday, another book with a mimosa!

This 2020 graphic novel is an adaptation of 's 1969 book by the same title . It's a ridiculous, tragic, weird tale, with POWs in 1944 Germany and time travel and some creepy looking aliens, but also a story I keep coming back to. There's such tenderness in how he approaches humanity's absurdity in this story.

Happy weekend! 💃🏻

If Kurt Vonnegut was still with us it would be his 100th birthday today. I just started reading Slaughter House Five (forty years after I should have). Happy birthday mr Vonnegut

开个瞎读的tag，不知道能坚持几天，反正放这。


“Rosewater said an interesting thing to Billy one time about a book that wasn’t science fiction. He said that everything there was to know about life was in The Brothers Karamazov, by Feodor Dostoevsky. “But that isn’t enough any more,” said Rosewater.”

Interesting. Ryan North has adapted "Slaughterhouse-Five" into a graphic novel.

"Albert Monteys (art), Ricard Zaplana (colours), and I are honoured to adapt, for the first time, Kurt Vonnegut's incredible book into the medium of comics."
