“What troubles me most about my lovely country is that its children are seldom taught that American freedom will vanish, if, when they grow up, and in the exercise of their duties as citizens, they insist that our courts and policemen and prisons be guided by divine or natural law.”

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.
