He was a brilliant writer. My favorite book was Cat’s Cradle. I love in Slaughterhouse five how the main character Billy loves the fictional author Kilgore Trout paperback science fiction writer and his favorite book “Venus on the Half Shell”. Years later I came across the paperback! Vonnegut created this persona Kilgore Trout and even wrote a book as Kilgore Trout. Hilarious...
