馮內果(Kurt Vonnegut)
About the Author
Kurt Vonnegut, the iconic American author whose satirical genius reshaped modern literature, was born in 1922 in Indianapolis and passed away in 2007, leaving behind a legacy of profound humanism wrapped in dark humor. A World War II veteran who survived the firebombing of Dresden, Vonnegut channeled his experiences into works that blend science fiction, absurdity, and social commentary, critiquing war, technology, and the human condition with unparalleled wit. His breakthrough novel, Cat's Cradle, introduced the fictional substance ice-nine and the Bokononist religion, earning him acclaim as a 'true artist' and cementing his status as a pioneer of the genre. Throughout his career, Vonnegut's voice remained distinctly his own—ironic, compassionate, and unflinchingly honest—resonating with readers who appreciate literature that challenges complacency and celebrates the absurd beauty of existence.
