Kurt Vonnegut
A writer to know. A book to begin with.
American novelist and satirist · November 11, 1922 – April 11, 2007.
Kurt Vonnegut combines speculative invention with a plainspoken suspicion of war, cruelty, and systems that make people disposable. Slaughterhouse-Five turns a prisoner’s experience of Dresden into a story that will not stay in chronological order. Cat’s Cradle and Player Piano approach different catastrophes with the same unsettling mixture of comedy and compassion.
