Kurt Vonnegut Jr. (1922–2007) served as a soldier and POW during World War II, experiences that surface throughout his satirical science fiction, and received a Purple Heart for what he self-deprecatingly described as "frostbite." He also had an unusual habit of grading his own books: A+ for Cat's Cradle and Slaughterhouse-Five, A for titles like Mother Night and Jailbird, and a blunt D for both Happy Birthday, Wanda June and Slapstick.
His debut, Player Piano, came out in 1952. This guide runs all thirty-two of his books, from that debut through 2019's posthumously published Pity the Reader.
