A core mystery endures: how Kurt, the feckless Ivy frat boy, became Vonnegut, satirist to the galaxy. Two missing links have recently come to light. The first is an 84-page scrapbook of letters and ephemera compiled by Vonnegut and his family, long hidden, sold to a private buyer at Christie’s in 2018. The second is this collection of 226 wartime love letters, missives, some typed, some handwritten and illustrated. https://theamericanscholar.org/satirist-to-the-galaxy/
