KURT VONNEGUT
The greatest American satirist since Mark Twain and perhaps the most beloved American writer of the 20th century, Kurt Vonnegut perfected the art of being deadly serious even at his silliest. His most famous novel, Slaughterhouse-Five, gave a science-fiction twist to the horror of war as exemplified by the Allied firebombing of Dresden during World War II—an assault that then-POW Vonnegut barely survived. In imaginative classics like Welcome to the Monkey House, Cat’s Cradle, and Breakfast of Champions, this Midwestern Voltaire viciously—and hilariously—skewered humanity at its worst even as he clearly celebrated humanity at its best. He died in 2007 at age 84…so it goes.
