Synopsis
This glowing remembrance of Kurt Vonnegut, written by his former student Loree Rackstraw contains excerpts from some of Vonnegut's never-before-seen letters. The two may have had an affair in the '60s, but whatever the case, they definitely had a strong friendship that provided Rackstraw with valuable insights into the legendary writer.

Publisher's Note
When Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. ducked into his classroom at the Iowa Writer's Workshop in September of 1965, his jokes drew only weak laughter and a few rolled eyes. But workshop student Loree Rackstraw was quietly impressed by this "great bear of a man" and his down-to-earth sensibilities about writing. That fall, an impossible romance began between the then-unknown author and his student--a brief affair that matured into a joyful, lifelong friendship. Rackstraw distills four decades of memories and Vonnegut's letters to her into an affectionate memoir that crackles with the creative energy of one of America's most beloved writers. Rackstraw's unique perspective on Vonnegut's life and how it shaped his famous works portrays a deeply humane man who looked for the humor and absurdity in life in order to survive. And then there are Vonnegut's own letters: Whether energetic about new projects or frustrated with the "game" of writing and selling "a gazoolian copies," Vonnegut writes with the playful imagination and generous, accessible brilliance that have always been his trademarks.

Industry reviews
"Vonnegut emerges in the book as a sort of rascally humanist, deeply concerned about the stuff people do to one another."
 (03/20/2009)

"LOVE AS ALWAYS, KURT is perhaps most fascinating for what it suggests about the tumult of the artist's life....Rackstraw remains loyal to the end, tracking his triumphs and disappointments with a tone of tender worship."
 (05/17/2009)
