About Kurt Vonnegut
Kurt Vonnegut was an American novelist and satirist best known for his darkly humorous science fiction works, particularly Slaughterhouse-Five. A World War II veteran and prisoner of war who survived the firebombing of Dresden, he channeled his experiences into antiwar literature that questioned human suffering and free will. Vonnegut became a cultural icon for his distinctive voice and famous catchphrase "So it goes," which appears throughout his masterpiece as a meditation on mortality and acceptance.
