An interesting read about Kurt Vonnegut Jr. written in two voices, one from the daughter of a good friend, and the other from a friend who was writing under the influence of a brain tumor.

It reads a bit like his writing and gives some context to Vonnegut's work, though I haven't sought out a biography or anything.

It's interesting to see how a brain tumor affects behavior. The piece doesn't reflect much on the science of if you have a tumor at X, your brain will do Y, but given the plasticity of the brain, it's to be expected.
