Books by Kurt Vonnegut

Kurt Vonnegut (1922–2007) survived the firebombing of Dresden as an American prisoner of war, an experience that haunted him for two decades before becoming the subject of Slaughterhouse-Five. He worked as a journalist and writer for General Electric before publishing his first novel, Player Piano, in 1952. His major works include Cat's Cradle, Breakfast of Champions, and Mother Night. Known for his darkly comic voice, humanist politics, and the signature phrase "So it goes," Vonnegut became one of the most beloved American writers of the twentieth century, particularly during the Vietnam era.
