I had a dream ... it's true, it's not a joke nor a parody of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., I really had a dream a few days ago with the giant writer Kurt Vonnegut. In the dream I was walking outside his home, where I had visited several times at 228 East 48th Street, between Second and Third Avenues. I saw him there, sitting on the stairs of his house, smoking with one hand and holding the leash of his hairy white dog with the other. I said hello and then he told me.... Let's leave what he told me for later, otherwise it sounds like fiction and it's not fiction. It's certain that the reader will want to know how I met Vonnegut, this great writer. It happened on February 24, 1989. There was a reading and music event at the Cooper Union Great Hall sponsored by the publisher, Four Walls Eight Windows... (Roberto Quesada).
