The Profile

Kurt Vonnegut (1922–2007) was an American novelist and satirist. A WWII U.S. Army veteran captured at the Battle of the Bulge, he survived the 1945 bombing of Dresden as a POW. His fiction blends black humor, science fiction, and humanist critique; major works include Cat’s Cradle, Slaughterhouse-Five, and Breakfast of Champions.

Born in Indianapolis, Indiana; died in New York City. Key themes: anti‑war skepticism, free will, technology, and American consumer culture. Frequently used recurring characters such as Kilgore Trout and a meta‑authorial voice.

The reviews hail Vonnegut’s blend of satire and science fiction, centering on Slaughterhouse-Five’s Dresden trauma, time slippage, and Tralfamadore. Breakfast of Champions is praised for its meta-author, Kilgore Trout, Dwayne Hoover’s unraveling, and doodled explanations. Galápagos is flagged as a welcoming entry point. Overall tone: humane, absurd, anti-war.
