It took me 15 pages of my first-ever Kurt Vonnegut novel (“Slaughterhouse-Five”) to decide he was unlike anything I’d ever read.
He broke conventional writing rules that I never thought books could do: like including himself (the author) as a character, breaking out of the narrative to offer commentary on humanity, war, and technology, all while offering insightful reflections on existential themes with a dark comedic touch.
Everything he writes, regardless of how deep, is masterfully packaged into short, engaging, and conversational-like stories that make the reader feel enlightened and somehow charmed.
He’s one of the most influential American novelists, and I for one, am a fan of everything he’s produced.
Here are some powerful Kurt Vonnegut quotes that’ll live on forever.
“All this happened, more or less.”
