There's an interesting parallel between Vonnegut's "“Write to please just one person...” and an earlier Wittgenstein's statement in his Preface to Tractatus "Its [the book's] object would be attained if there were one person who read it with understanding and to whom it afforded pleasure."

I wonder whether Vonnegut wanted to allude that his character was familiar with Wittgenstein's work.
