In this special bonus Vonne-chat, Alex and Michael are joined by Marc Leeds, author of The Vonnegut Encyclopedia. They discuss what it's like being a character in one of Kurt's novels, whether his books are truly a shared universe and how Marc compiled his nearly 800 page tome, an A-Z database of Vonnegut characters, settings and themes.
