Remembering Kurt Vonnegut

By Liz Bulkley on Thursday, April 12, 2007.

Kurt Vonnegut, the prolific author of satire and science fiction, passed away last night. He was known for his dark humor and sometimes bleary point of view. But an undeniable hopefulness and morality was at the heart of his work. We'll explore his life and his legacy.

Our guests are:

  • Susan Neville, professor of English at Butler University and the author of Sailing in the Inland Sea.
  • Todd Davis, assistant professor of English at Penn State Altoona, and the author of Kurt Vonnegut's Crusade: Or How a Post-Modern Harlequin Preached a New Kind of Humanism.
