He said things that other people thought but didn't say, or hadn't dared to think, but recognized as true when they heard it. The truth is often shocking, he wrote, because we hear it so seldomly.""-- Like all people, during his lifetime Vonnegut experienced great happiness as well as depression and the horror of war; both the frustration and success that are partner to the writing life. He used these experiences-- along with science fiction, humor, and a deeply felt humanism-- to show readers the absurdity and the loveliness of life on earth. Wakefield details the facts of Vonnegut's life, novels, interviews, and personal experiences, into a telling of the making of a writer. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library YA -- New Books B Vonnegut Wa Checked In Add Copy to MyList
