Born on November 11, 1922, in Indianapolis, Vonnegut was born into a well-to-do family that was hit very hard by the Depression. Vonnegut went to public high school, unlike his two older siblings, and there gained early writing experience writing for the high school's daily paper. He enrolled at Cornell University in 1940, and, under pressure from his father and older brother, studied chemistry and biology. He had little real love for the subjects, and his performance was poor. He did, however, enjoy a position working for the Cornell Daily Sun. In 1942, Vonnegut left Cornell; at the time, the university was preparing to ask him to leave due to poor academic performance. He enrolled at the Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie-Mellon) in 1943. He studied there only briefly before enlisting in the army. His mother killed herself in May of 1944. On December 14, 1944, Vonnegut was captured in the Battle of the Bulge. He was held as a POW in Dresden, a beautiful German city with no major industries or military presence. The bombing of Dresden was unexpected. Vonnegut and the other POWs were some of the only survivors. They waited out the bombing in a meat cellar deep under the slaughterhouse.

LA SATIRA AL VETRIOLO DI KURT VONNEGUT Marcello Bonati Kurt Vonnegut, jr., Kurt appartiene alla terza generazione dei Vonnegut nati in America. La famiglia Vonnegut perse quasi tutto il proprio patrimonio nella Grande Depressione del '29. Nel '40 fu mandato alla Cornell University, a Ithaca, per laurearsi in chimica, ma ottenne brutti voti. In questo periodo divenne direttore del Cornell Daily Sun, un quotidiano studentesco. Poi fu chiamato sotto le armi. Fece la guerra, e fu fatto prigioniero dai tedeschi, a Dresda. Fece poi il pubblicitario per la General Electrics Company, nello stato di New York. Ha scritto un centinaio di racconti, di cui solo una dozzina di Sf. Ha scritto testi per la televisione e due commedie il teatro. A Cape Code ha fatto anche il rappresentante di automobili e l'insegnante di letteratura. Nel '92 entra a far parte della American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. Esamineremo, ora, ad una ad una, tutte le sue opere tradotte, ovvero tutti i romanzi, una delle due commedie, ed appena undici del centinaio di racconti da lui scritti.

The Artist Kurt Vonnegut's Fantastic Faces By Peter Reed Most readers interested in the fantastic in literature are familiar with Kurt Vonnegut, particularly for his uses of science fiction. Many of his early short stories were wholly in the science fiction mode, and while its degree has varied, science fiction has never lost its place in his novels. Vonnegut has typically used science fiction to characterize the world and the nature of existence as he experiences them. His chaotic fictional universe abounds in wonder, coincidence, randomness and irrationality. Science fiction helps lend form to the presentation of this world view without imposing a falsifying causality upon it. In his vision, the fantastic offers perception into the quotidian, rather than escape from it. Science fiction is also technically useful, he has said, in providing a distance perspective, "moving the camera out into space, " as it were. I And unusually for this form, Vonnegut's science fiction is frequently comic, not just in the "black humor" mode with which he has been tagged so often, but in being simply funny. Less generally familiar than the fiction, however, are Vonnegut's creations in the graphic arts. These reveal the same postmodern heterogeneity of mode and subject found in the fiction-realism and abstraction, the fantastic and the mundane, sentiment and irony, humor and melancholy.

38. KURT VONNEGUT: Kilgore Trout The true story of Kilgore Trout, a fictional science fiction writer created by kurt vonnegut, and championed by Philip Jose Farmer in Venus on the Half Shell. Includes a short interview with vonnegut, and a list of all of Trout's books. http://www.duke.edu/~crh4/vonnegut/vonnegutia/trout/index.html

Vonnegut Home Comments Biographical Sketch from Venus on the Half-Shell Kilgore Trout was bom in 1907 of American parents on the British island of Bermuda. Trout attended grammar school there until his father's job with the Royal Ornithological Society terminated. The family moved to Dayton, Ohio, where Trout graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School in 1924. Thereafter, he wandered around the country, workng at menial low-paying jobs and writing science-fiction in his spare time. His only known residences during, this period are Hyannis, Mass., Indianapolis, Ind., and Ilium and Cohoes, N.Y. He has been married and divorced three times and has one child, Leo, a veteran of Vietnam. As of 1974, Trout has written one hundred seventeen novels and two thousand short stories. Yet until recently he was little known. This regrettable situation is due to Trout's extreme reclusivity and his indifference to the publication of his stories. He was ill-advised in his choice of publishers, the chief one, World Classics Library, being a firm specializing pornographic novels and magazines. This ensured that his works would be distributed only to stores specializing in this genre. Yet Trout's work, with one exception,* contained no explicitly erotic content. Without Trout's permission or knowledge, World Classics Library put lurid covers on his novels and used his short stories as fillers in ''girlie'' magazines.

Choose another writer in this calendar: by name: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Kurt Vonnegut (1922-) American author noted for his pessimistic and satirical novels, best known for SLAUGHTERHOUSE FIVE (1969), which was based on his experiences in Dresden, Germany, where he was a prisoner-of-war at the destruction of the town in 1945. Vonnegut uses fantasy and science fiction to examine the horrors and absurdities of 20th century civilization. His constant concern about the effects of technology on humanity has led some critics to consider him a science fiction writer, but the author himself has rejected this label. '"You know - we've had to imagine the war here, and we have imagined that it was being fought by aging men like ourselves. We had forgotten that the wars were fought by babies. When I saw those freshly shaved faces, it was a shock. "My God, my God - " I said to myself, "it's the Children's Crusade."' (from Slaughterhouse Five Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. was born in Indianapolis, the son of an architect. In GALÁPAGOIS (1985) Vonnegut wrote: "When I got to be sixteen, though, I myself had arrived at the conclusion my mother and the neighbors had reached so long ago: that my father was a repellent failure, his work appearing only in the most disreputable publications, which paid him almost nothing. He was an insult to life itself, I thought, when he went on doing nothing with it but writing and smoking all the time - and I mean all the time." For the ten years before World War II Vonnegut's father was almost constantly unemployed, and anti-German feelings and cultural prejudices were later seen in Vonnegut's novel SLAPSTICK (1976). In 1940 Vonnegut started his biochemistry studies at Cornell. He wrote anti-war articles for the student newspaper

I built this site eight years ago as an attempt to bring people of all backgrounds together for discussion, sharing, and to change the world. In my opinion, the experiment was successful. Thousands of people visited the page and many signed up to join artificial families. People met, emailed, it was fun. In 2000 I visited Europe and stopped updating this page. Over the last four years, the family mailing lists died. So it goes. But I didn't die. Well, I kind of did. Through many blessings and much good fortune, I learned meditation and changed my life. I discovered a path of bliss and my ego died. Now it's 2004 and I want to invent something to help the world again, and that is the intention I am putting into this web-space.
