Letters EARLY LIFE Early s "Kurt Vonnegut, whose dark comic talent and urgent moral vision in novels like "Slaughterhouse-Five," "Cat's Cradle" and "God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater" caught the temper of his times and the imagination of a generation" Dinitia Smith, New York Times. These first two letters are written by a young Kurt Vonnegut to his father.

Letters LIFE AFTER WAR "Aged veterans of the First World War had told Vonnegut that inwhen at this precise minute the gunfire and explosion had suddenly stopped, the silence sounded like the voice of God. Throughout his own career as a writer, he'd tried to give voice to the sentiments behind such memories of an ideal America. Letters were written shortly after Vonnegut's return to the United States.

This personally transformative event would become the basis for one of Vonnegut's most celebrated works, the "story and structure of which became best-selling metaphors for the new age" Dinitia Smith : Slaughterhouse Five.
