Kurt Vonnegut

Kurt Vonnegut (11 November (1922)—†11 April (2007)) is an American writer and a top-favourite author of Fabrice.

Favourite works include the everybody's best-loved Slaughterhouse 5, Cat's cradle and the Sirens of Titan, but one cannot truly enjoy or even understand Vonnegut without reading his other works. Among those, I have special admiration for Breakfast of Champions, Mother Night, Jailbird and God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater. The first book I read was Cat's cradle, which I did not fully understand then. The best first book for Vonnegut is probably Slaughterhouse 5 or the Sirens of Titan. I read again Cat's cradle during our Icelandic trip (2024) and it got me crying.
