O'Hare's Stories (Chapter 1)

I am not too deep into the book (Slaughterhouse-Five, Kurt Vonnegut), but I kind of have the feeling of what it's going to be like. It seems to me like the author was a soldier in World War 2, who obviously survived. He then goes to college, and then finds out he needs money. What better idea than to write a book about his adventures in the war, one of the many books there are. He thinks he is going to make a lot of money, because it is an interesting topic, so he starts to write the book. His memory starts to fail, and he has nothing more to write about. He starts to research for his veteran friends, and the operator comunicates him with an old friend, which he met and was prisoners with in war. He takes the trip to visit him, and they soon find out they don't remember much. He keeps searching, but nothing appears. He has nothing more to write his book about, and clearly it is not finished. He has some other ideas in mind for fiction books, and maybe some ither book,s but can't finish the book that was most important for him, the one about his past! His idea of the money making business of author starts to faint, when an idea strucks his brain: writing a book about the adventures he went through when he was trying to write the book about his past. Seems to him like a great idea, because he can tell about his past, and about his present, both in the same book. It's like having two stories in a book. So that's what he does. Write step by step his road writing the book, plus he gets to write about the flashbacks he has while he talks about his past. Great idea to make money. Clearly this is only a hypothesis, let's see what really happens!
