Описание к видео Ian McKellen reads Kurt Vonnegut's inspirational letter to some students

In 2006, a group of students at Xavier High School in New York City were given an assignment by their English teacher, Ms. Lockwood, that was to test their persuasive writing skills: they were asked to write to their favourite author and ask him or her to visit the school. It’s a measure of his ongoing influence that five of those pupils chose Kurt Vonnegut, the novelist responsible for, amongst other highly-respected books, Slaughterhouse-Five; sadly, however, he never made that trip. Instead, he wrote a wonderful letter. He was the only author to reply.

Sir Ian McKellen joined us at Letters Live at the Freemasons Hall, London to read Kurt's fantastic letter.
