About Kurt Vonnegut
Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007) was an American writer, one of the most influential and beloved satirists of the 20th century. Famous for blending science fiction, dark humour, and humane social criticism, he became a defining voice of postwar American literature with novels like Slaughterhouse-Five and Cat's Cradle. Vonnegut's fiction mixes absurd, inventive premises with a plain, funny, deeply humane style and a recurring plea for kindness in an often senseless world. His most famous novels remain under copyright, and two of his early short stories were first published in 1950s magazines. Both already show his gift for turning science-fiction ideas into biting social satire. His prose is clear, funny, and modern.
