Kurt Vonnegut in Back to School
Back to School is a 1986 movie starring Rodney Dangerfield. The
plot centers on a wealthy but uneducated father (Dangerfield) who goes
to college to show solidarity with his troubled son and learns that he
cannot buy his education.
Kurt Vonnegut played himself with a cameo appearance in the move, in
which he is hired by Thornton Melon to write a paper on the topic of the
novels of Kurt Vonnegut.
Recognizing the work as not Melon's own, Professor Turner tells him,
"Whoever did write this doesn't know the first thing about Kurt
Vonnegut.".
