Writers for the 70s: Kurt Vonnegut Jr. By Peter J. Reed First Printing, 1972 Warner Paperback Library - 68-923 The world of Kurt Vonnegut, a world in which computers threaten to make human beings obsolete, in which power politics threaten the very existence of the human race... a world of fantastic journeys in space and time... of misguided motives and schemes that backfire disastrously. A world informed by the inexhaustible energy and invention and by the unique combination of hard-nosed skepticism, wacky humor, and deep compas-sion that have made Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., a major American WRITER FOR THE SEVENTIES. Peter J. Reed explores the full range of Vonnegut's imagination. Combining critical detachment and enthusiasm, Professor Reed brings out both the fantastic variety of Vonnegut's fictional world and its underlying coherence Kurt Vonnegut is the first volume in a series of critical appreciations called WRITERS FOR THE SEVENTIES.
