“I get up at 7:30 and work four hours a day. Nine to twelve in the morning, five to six in the evening. Businessmen would achieve better results if they studied human metabolism. No one works well eight hours a day. No one ought to work more than four hours.”

American author

Kurt Vonnegut was an American author, best known for satirical fiction shaped by dark humor. Over a career spanning fifty years, he published fourteen novels, three short-story collections, five plays, and five nonfiction works. His writing often used wit to examine serious subjects, and his books remained widely read long after his death. Additional works have been published posthumously, reflecting the lasting interest in his voice and style.
