Kurt Vonnegut

Kurt Vonnegut, author of 'Slaughterhouse Five', 'Breakfast of Champions', 'Cat's Cradle', and many other brilliant novels and short stories, was one of the 20th century's greatest writers. Dan Wakefield, a friend and mentee of Vonnegut's for decades and a fellow Hoosier, distils the facts including Kurt's novels, essays, interviews, letters and personal experiences, into a beautiful telling of the making of a writer. Using the second person 'You,' it is as though Wakefield is a friend walking through Kurt's life alongside him, a guide for readers to his extraordinary life.
