for London. There next to me was a paper-back titled:
“Slaughterhouse-Five” by ‘Kurt Vonnegut. I picked up the book and
had casual look at the contents, and muttered to myself: ‘What peculiar
name of a book and Germanic name of the author, writing in English. I
put the book back. Man sitting next to me, smoking, looked at me, smiled
and said, ‘young man! Try and read the book and you’ll understand what it means’ He then picked up the paper-back and signed in his artistic way. The man was ‘Vonnegut’ himself who was visiting Dresden where he was
a prisoner during the destruction of the city, and basis of his book. I still possess this signed copy.
