Fascinating to hear these short snippets of famous authors (Baldwin, Didion, Vonnegut and more) speaking at presentations:

My #BookReview of Breakfast of Champions, by Kurt Vonnegut

#KurtVonnegut #Booksky
Breakfast of Champions
I have loved Kurt Vonnegut’s 1973 novel Breakfast of Champions since I first read it in the early 1990s. It’s my favorite Vonnegut novel, which I have heard is fairly uncommon. I read somewhere that…

Pues estos se vienen a casa…
Aunque me he leído dos obras, de momento, puedo decir que #KurtVonnegut es de mis escritores favoritos, y más si lo conocí gracias a la recomendación de un buen amigo.

¿Alguien se las ha leído?

I'm just after watching the #KurtVonnegut documentary, #UnstuckInTime, and have begun re-reading his last novel, #Timequake, which I've owned since 1997. Felt compelled to remember the memorable day I received the novel.

Timequake
Autumn 1997, I was living in Dublin, Ireland, just moved there after finishing school, no real plan, few connections, fewer prospects, but guided by a desperate desire to make it work. And it did. …

“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
--Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2000)
From “Mother Night” (1961)

No, that line is not saying “pretending makes you authentic.” It’s saying the opposite. If you pretend to be something long enough, you don’t just fool others. You start rewiring yourself. Vonnegut isn’t defending fakes. He’s warning about them. What “pretend” means here (this is the key). He’s not talking about: -playful imagination -fiction -trying on roles -aspirational growth He’s talking about "performative" identity. Acting a role publicly, repeatedly, until it becomes your behavior, your habits, and eventually your moral footprint. Vonnegut’s point is: -If you act superior long enough, you become disconnected. -If you perform expertise long enough, you stop learning. -If you pretend to be wealthy or powerful, you start valuing image over truth. At some point, the pretending isn’t harmless anymore. It becomes identity drift. Such people are, functionally, becoming what they pretend to be: not rich, not experts - but people who live by deception. ☝️

“Ice-Nine”, of course, is the symbol of the destructive nature of misused technology (eg. Atomic and other human made weapons, etc.) from #KurtVonnegut Jr’s 1963 novel “Cat’s Cradle”. You can read that and a few more of his major works here (archive.org/details/nove...)
