Synopses & Reviews
This new biography series in literature explores the lives of some of the most talked about literary figures of the past half-century. Each book features a foreword by a prominent scholar or close friend and acquaintance of the writer that lends either a unique perspective or first-hand insights to the writer's life. Over 130 pages of biographical text allow for in-depth coverage of the writer's life, struggles and accomplishments. One of the twentieth century's most preeminent novelists, Vonnegut satirically explores the wrongs of humanity--most notably in Slaughterhouse-Five and Cat's Cradle.
