Shields C. J., And So It Goes. Kurt Vonnegut: a Life — 2012

Kurt Vonnegut remains one of the most influential, controversial and popular novelists of the twentieth century. Millions know him as a counterculture guru, antiwar activist, and satirist of American culture. But few ouside his family and friends knew the full arc of his extraordinary life. How he made friends easily but always felt lonely, how he sold million of books but never felt appreciated, how he described himself as a humanist but fought with humanity at large. As a former public relations man, he crafted his image carefully - the the avuncular, curly haired humorist - though he admitted, "I myself am a work of fiction". After five years of research, drawing on hundreds of interviews with Vonnegut, his children, and his friends and neighbors, and more than fifteen hundred letters, "And So It Goes" at last reveals one of literature's most idiosyncratic, beloved, and enigmatic icons.
