God Bless You, Mr. Vonnegut

  • Posted by Lauren on April 12th, 2007

Kurt Vonnegut Jr. died at the age of 84 on Wednesday. It is a huge loss for the literary world as well as anyone who appreciates dark humor and satire.  He is best known for his novels “Slaughterhouse-Five,”  “Cat’s Cradle,” “Breakfast of Champions,” and “God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater.” Many of his stories were drawn from his experiences as a young POW during the bombing of Dresden, Germany.

His death is said to be a result of brain damages caused by a fall a few weeks ago.
