Charles Shields, author of Mockingbird: A Portrait of Harper Lee, is starting work on his next project: the first full-scale biography of Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. He's looking for people to tell him "about their experiences with Vonnegut, either personally or with his novels," and he's posted his e-mail address (cjs1994 at earthlink dot com) to facilitate communication.

I don't know if his request has made it into the SF world yet, so I'm hoping some readers of this blog can help pass the word out to anyone who might have known Vonnegut when he still thought of himself as a SF writer, early in his career.
