Saw Vonnegut onstage in '83 and he did his "graphic representation of plots" thing then. The Kafka Curve is quite something.
The science of storytelling with author and humanist Kurt Vonnegut 😅❤️
Kurt was born #OnThisDay 1922.

Times are so difficult. Post-apocalyptic fiction is hard to read for me (since 2020 actually).
But these two books held me with their beautiful vibes of hope and humanity in quiet, everyday ways that are powerful for their sheer endurance. @tinywriterlaura.bsky.social @rainewilson.bsky.social ❤️

My copy of the 1938 Penguin Books edition of 'The Centaur' by Algernon Blackwood. I'm rather pleased to own a 1930s Penguin, especially one by a favourite author.
