Kurt Vonnegut (November 11, 1922 – April 11, 2007) was an American author known for his satirical and darkly humorous novels. He published 15 novels, three short-story collections, five plays, and five nonfiction works over fifty-plus years; further collections have been published since his death.

Born and raised in Indianapolis, Vonnegut attended Cornell University, but withdrew in January 1943 and enlisted in the U.S. Army. As part of his training, he studied mechanical engineering at Carnegie Institute of Technology and the University of Tennessee. He was then deployed to Europe to fight in World War II and was captured by the Germans during the Battle of the Bulge. He was interned in Dresden, where he survived the Allied bombing of the city in a meat locker of the slaughterhouse where he was imprisoned. After the war, he married Jane Marie Cox. He and his wife both attended the University of Chicago while he worked as a night reporter for the City News Bureau.

Vonnegut published his first novel, Player Piano, in 1952. It received positive reviews yet sold poorly. In the nearly 20 years that followed, he published several well-regarded novels including two—The Sirens of Titan (1959) and Cat's Cradle (1963)—that were nominated for the Hugo Award for best science fiction or fantasy novel of the year. He published a short-story collection, Welcome to the Monkey House, in 1968.

Vonnegut's breakthrough was his commercially and critically successful sixth novel, Slaughterhouse-Five (1969). Its anti-war sentiment resonated with its readers amid the Vietnam War, and its reviews were generally positive. It rose to the top of The New York Times Best Seller list and made Vonnegut famous. Later in his career, Vonnegut published autobiographical essays and short-story collections such as Fates Worse Than Death (1991) and A Man Without a Country (2005). He has been hailed for his dark humor commentary on American society. His son Mark published a compilation of his unpublished works, Armageddon in Retrospect, in 2008. In 2017, Seven Stories Press published Complete Stories, a collection of Vonnegut's short fiction.

Kurt Vonnegut’s novels can be an eye-opener to some readers who patronize his work. There are many things in life that people have to understand and realize during their lifetime, that along the way, long before they existed, there were people who gave up some of their happiness and freedom so that the people of this generation would have their freedom and happiness, away from oppression and persecution. Many have even given their lives just to forge a free world, and Kurt’s books make the readers realize the suffering of the people who lived long ago for the kind of freedom that the people of today are currently enjoying.

His works are really worth reading, especially to the younger generation because of the values and lessons that they could pick up during the time that they are reading Kurt’s novels. He’s got more than 40+ novels to choose from and with that kind of coverage, the readers can just pick one that will suit their reading style and the connection that they want to establish with the novel, the character and the story that the book may deliver towards the reader themselves. It is worth the time to read his novels.
