My theory is that Kurt had a lot of residual pain from his childhood. And when you pile that on top of his experience in World War II – he was in Dresden when it was bombed and saw a city annihilated. When you combine those two things, my impression of Kurt Vonnegut at 84 was that he was a very pained and haunted man.
