Suzanne McConnell, one of Kurt Vonnegut's students in his "Form of Fiction" course at the Iowa Writers' Workshop, saved this assignment, explaining that Vonnegut "wrote his course assignments in the form of letters, as a way of speaking personally to each member of the class." The result is part assignment, part letter, part guide to writing and life.
This assignment is reprinted from "Kurt Vonnegut: Letters," edited by Dan Wakefield, out now from Delacorte Press/Ebury Publishing.
