About the Author

Kurt Vonnegut is a master of contemporary American Literature. His black humor, satiric voice, and incomparable imagination first captured America's attention in The Siren's of Titan in 1959 and established him as 'a true artist' with Cat's Cradle in 1963. He is, as Graham Greene has declared, 'one of the best living American writers.'

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for Vonnegut fans, September 9, 2004

By	Phillip Remaker (San Jose, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I loved these books, except for the fact that they are abridged. The main thing I liked was that Vonnegut plays and sings the songs which he writes in the books. Whenever a song appears in a Vonnegut text, you have lyrics, but no melody. I expected to only hear him read the lyrics, but he has an acoustic guitar and SINGS. That was a trip.
