Robert Weide, perhaps best known for his Emmy-winning work on Curb Your Enthusiasm, first reached out to Kurt Vonnegut in 1982, asking if he could interview the Breakfast of Champions and Slaughterhouse-Five writer for a documentary. His new film, Kurt Vonnegut: Unstuck in Time, explains what has happened since, while chronicling Vonnegut's life of struggle and truth-telling.

This is a short but wide-ranging interview that includes:

—Vonnegut's fondness for this symbol: *

—Why he was often ignored by the highbrow literary world

—His favorite joke

Enjoy!
