[美] 库尔特•冯内古特（Kurt Vonnegut，1922—2007） 20世纪美国极具影响力的黑色幽默文学作家。格雷厄姆•格林推崇他为“美国当代zui有才能的作家”。在1960年代的美国大学校园，冯内古特的小说几乎人手一册，他被称为“几代美国青年的偶像”。 冯内古特擅长以黑色幽默描绘时代的荒谬。当暴力、愚蠢、敌视、仇恨泛滥成灾，绝望的人们遭受无法愈合的创伤。在笑声下，是冯内古特对全人类深切的关爱和疗愈。 他的许多文学创作与其在二战中的亲身经历息息相关。 1945年，年仅23岁的冯内古特遭德军俘虏，被囚禁在德累斯顿战俘营。英美联军发动大轰炸时，冯内古特身处屠场的地下室内。整座城市在炮火中烧成废墟，他是幸存的7名美军战俘之一。 战争在冯内古特心底留下难以磨灭的创伤：“我目睹过德累斯顿的毁灭……我的反应之一当然是笑。上帝知道，这是灵魂在寻找宽慰。”2...(展开全部)
