Klappentext zu „Slaughterhouse Five or The Children's Crusade “
Kurt Vonnegut was born in Indianapolis in 1922 and studied biochemistry at Cornell University. An army intelligence scout during the Second World War, he was captured by the Germans and witnessed the destruction of Dresden by Allied bombers, an experience which inspired his classic novel Slaughterhouse-Five. After the war he worked as a police reporter, an advertising copywriter and a public relations man for General Electric. His first novel Player Piano (1952) achieved underground success. Cat's Cradle (1963) was hailed by Graham Greene as 'one of the best novels of the year by one of the ablest living authors'. His eighth book, Slaughterhouse-Five was published in 1969 and was a literary and commercial success, and was made into a film in 1972. Vonnegut is the author of thirteen other novels, three collections of stories and five non-fiction books. Kurt Vonnegut died in 2007.

Rezension zu „Slaughterhouse Five or The Children's Crusade “
"Marvellous...the writing is pungent, the antics uproarious, the wit as sharp as a hypodermic needle" Daily Telegraph "A work of keen literary artistry" -- Joseph Heller "The individuality of Vonnegut's style is a curious yet perfect match for the pain of the emotional content. A humane, human book that always remains a work of art rather than biography, no matter how apparent the author's presence" -- Kate Atkinson "A laughing prophet of doom" New York Times "Unique" -- Doris Lessing
Pressezitat
Marvellous...the writing is pungent, the antics uproarious, the humour suitably black, the wit sharp as a hypodermic Daily Telegraph
