Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007). Vonnegut is a great American literary figure. He has had a storied career from front line soldier to car dealer to novelist and artist to teacher. In WW II he was an advanced scout in the Battle of the Bulge and he saw Dresden fire-bombed as a POW. It was the latter experience that was the core of one of his most famous works Slaughterhouse Five. Vonnegut was ever the 'outsider', iconoclast and social critic. He was an admirer of Dillinger and and other social outcasts and he was definitely left of center in his political beliefs. Nonetheless he was a literary genius and a multidimensional human being.
