“
While looking out over the water from the balcony of a mansion on Shelter Island, Kurt Vonnegut tells his friend, Joseph Heller, that their host makes more money in a single day than Heller will ever earn from his novel Catch-22.
Heller responds, “Yes, but I have something he will never have.”
Vonnegut questions, “What’s that?”
“Enough.”
