Kurt Vonnegut was an American writer who’s career spanned over 50 years. He published 14 novels, 3 short story collections, 5 plays and 5 works of non-fiction, with further collections being published after his death. He is most famous for his darkly satirical best selling novel “Slaughterhouse-Five.”(1969) Vonnegut was a vocal critic of the society in which he lived and this was reflected in his writings. Several key social themes recur in Vonnegut’s works, such as wealth, lack of it, and it’s unequal distribution among society. A conscious fear of loss of one’s purpose in life, is among the themes of his works. (Cat’s Cradle” and “Breakfast of Champions.”) His famous quote, “We are what we pretend to be.” “So we must be careful about what we pretend to be.” At his death, he was hailed as a morbidly comical commentator on the society in which he lived and as one of the most important contemporary writers of his generation.
