About the author
Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
732 books37.1k followersKurt Vonnegut, Junior was an American novelist, satirist, and most recently, graphic artist. He was recognized as New York State Author for 2001-2003.
He was born in Indianapolis, later the setting for many of his novels. He attended Cornell University from 1941 to 1943, where he wrote a column for the student newspaper, the Cornell Daily Sun. Vonnegut trained as a chemist and worked as a journalist before joining the U.S. Army and serving in World War II.
After the war, he attended University of Chicago as a graduate student in anthropology and also worked as a police reporter at the City News Bureau of Chicago. He left Chicago to work in Schenectady, New York in public relations for General Electric. He attributed his unadorned writing style to his reporting work.
His experiences as an advance scout in the Battle of the Bulge, and in particular his witnessing of the bombing of Dresden, Germany whilst a prisoner of war, would inform much of his work. This event would also form the core of his most famous work, Slaughterhouse-Five, the book which would make him a millionaire. This acerbic 200-page book is what most people mean when they describe a work as "Vonnegutian" in scope.
Vonnegut was a self-proclaimed humanist and socialist (influenced by the style of Indiana's own Eugene V. Debs) and a lifelong supporter of the American Civil Liberties Union.
The novelist is known for works blending satire, black comedy and science fiction, such as Slaughterhouse-Five (1969), Cat's Cradle (1963), and Breakfast of Champions (1973)

I read this story at around 1:00 this morning (it took about 40 minutes to read) and it’s now 5:05. Don’t read this short story before bed. I can’t sleep because I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s terrifying, unsettling, and encouraging all at the same time. So obviously you should read it.

This felt like a bit of a curio, more of a suspense/action story about a mob boss taking over a small town and one man’s struggle to survive when he ended up on the wrong side of said mob boss. Not very similar to Vonnegut’s other work.

کورت ونه گات مهارت خوبی در روایت هیجانی داره، اما این داستان به نظرم در بهترین حالتش یک داستان مافیایی خیلی ساده و کمی کلیشه ای بود که به درد فیلمهای آبکی هالیوودی میخوره
