"so [he] goes" - Vonnegut Leaves Artistic Legacy

By Kristina DeVoe on April 13, 2007 12:26 PM | | Comments (0)
Famed American novelist, Kurt Vonnegut died earlier in the week. A key postmodern author, Vonnegut perfected his satirical voice by his use of non-linear narration and terse humor - as evident in his highly acclaimed, semi-autobiographical work, Slaughterhouse-Five.

Vonnegut authored over 20 works during his lifetime, frequently carving out his own presence within them and prompting critics to proclaim that his books "chronicle a search for the human."

The library's collection of Vonnegut's works are available.
