内容简介

It is an increasingly rare occasion these days to find two writers willing to speak candidly, thoughtfully, and concretely about the intersection of life and art. And that these two writers happen to be Kurt Vonnegut and Lee Stringer makes Like Shaking Hands with God a truly historic and joyous occasion. The setting is a bookstore in New York City, October 1998. Before a crowd of several hundred, Vonnegut and Stringer jump into the aesthetic fray, taking up humanity, writing, salvation, art, and the challenge of living hand-to-mouth, day-to-day.As Vonnegut would say, "It was a magical evening". The perfect book for Vonnegut fans, Stringer fans, and anyone interested in why the simple act of writing things down can be so much more important than the amount of memory in our computers, Like Shaking Hands with God is full of surprises.
