About the author

Kurt Vonnegut

Kurt Vonnegut's black humor, satiric voice, and incomparable imagination first captured America’s attention in The Sirens of Titan in 1959 and established him as “a true artist” (The New York Times) with Cat’s Cradle in 1963. He was, as Graham Greene declared, “one of the best living American writers.” Vonnegut died April 11, 2007.

Praise for Breakfast of Champions

Vonnegut performs considerable complex magic... Fresh, funny, outrageous...he very nearly levitates

New York Times

A great deal of wit and playfulness...an entire universe of disorder is distilled

Guardian

Outrageous, witty, thought-provoking, unputdownable, scintillating, invigorating, ennobling, enlightening and masterly

Spectator

Brilliant... It seems, at times, as if Voltaire has returned to satirise the horrors of plastic, disposable America

Sunday Times

He’s just so fucking amazing. Everyone should read Vonnegut.
