This is a machinema video of Kurt Vonnegut's interview inside Second Life with John Hockenberry of The Infinite Mind - public radio's premiere mental health program. Mr. Vonnegut is among the very few grandmasters of contemporary American letters, without whom the very term "American literature" would mean much less than it does. His literary genius has brought us Slaughterhouse-Five, Cat's Cradle, Breakfast of Champions and, more recently, A Man Without a Country.
