- Abstract:
This article discusses the continued influence of the works of American science fiction author Kurt Vonnegut following his death in 2007. Topics include a description of how Vonnegut's experiences as a prisoner of war in Dresden, Germany during World War II influenced his novel "Slaughterhouse-Five," the ways that science fiction allows for the critical evaluation of sensitive subjects, and Vonnegut's eventual status as a popular culture icon and national U.S. peace advocate.
