I have never read anything by Vonnegut, so my opinion is exclusively based on the linked blog post. I find his writing to be difficult to understand. Usually I can plow through anything at lightning speed but with this post I found my self backtracking several times. Is it just me? All of the suggestions are excellent. But it's ironic that an essay on how to write clearly and with style is a bit difficult to actually read.
- lisper 10y agoIt's you. This was not an essay about how to write clearly, it was an essay about how to write with style. Not (necessarily) the same thing.
- x0054 10y agoTrue, but a large portion was devoted to writing simply and clearly, using everyday words.
- kovek 10y agoI have a similar experience when reading his books. However, I do feel like I should be testing through them much more smoothly. The ideas in them are great though. I think it is nice how he expresses big ideas seemingly very simply (some ideas do take the bigger part of his books to be expressed so simply)
- x0054 10y agoInteresting, I am going to check him out.
