Hopeless at this kind of thing, so tell me - how do you pronounce Kurt Vonnegut?? Is it VONN-I-GUT (to rhyme with BONNY NUT as someone on another website once said) or something completley different?

You can listen to how it's pronounced at the BBC program World Book Club when he was interviewed on his book Slaughterhouse 5. Click on the link below, scroll down a bit until you see Listen to previous World Book Clubs, click on the arrow for the drop down list of past interviews and not far down the list you'll see Kurt Vonnegut - Slaughterhouse 5. Turn on your audio and enjoy!

You pronounce it

so the o is said like "ahhh" and the e is soft like the n & e in never.
