Pillar of Salt
The author has long been fascinated by novelist Kurt Vonnegut's account of the destruction of Dresden which he witnessed as a German prisoner of war in 1945. Dresden was a city of art and culture without significant war-related targets. Why then did the Allies firebomb it so intensely, killing between 35 to 135 thousand? Does this act relate to the current world situation? Dresden to me is a metaphor for humankin's inhumanity to humankind though we always can tap that compassion hardwired deep within us.
