Description
Rarely have two writers spoken so candidly about the intersection where the lives they live meets the art they practice. That these two writers happen to be Kurt Vonnegut and Lee Stringer make this a historic and joyous occasion. Like Shaking Hands with God is a little book filled with human, profound, and beautiful musings on life and writing.

The setting was a bookstore in New York City, the date Thursday, October 1, 1998. Before a crowd of several hundred, Vonnegut and Stringer ruminated on humanity, writing, salvation, art, and the struggle and joy of living from day to day. As Vonnegut would say, "It was a magical evening."

A book for Vonnegut fans, Stringer fans, and anyone interested in why the simple act of writing can be more important than the amount of memory in our computers.
