Kurt Vonnegut was an American science fiction and humour writer. Born in Indianapolis in 1922, Vonnegut studied chemistry in University while serving as an editor of his school s newspaper. The outbreak of the Second World War interrupted his post-secondary education, and Vonnegut served as a mechanical engineer in the army. Vonnegut s war experience, particularly his survival of the firebombing of Dresden in an underground meat locker in a building called Slaughterhouse Five, vastly influenced his later writing, as well as his turn to pacifism and humanism. His most famous works include Slaughterhouse Five, Cat s Cradle and Breakfast of Champions. Vonnegut died in 2007 at the age of 84.
