Overview
Kurt Vonnegut, an Indianapolis native, was well-known for his dialogue on war. Slaughterhouse-Five, Vonnegut’s 1969 anti-war novel, encouraged dialogue and reflection about the Vietnam War. Join Chris Lafave, curator of the Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library, to engage and discuss Vonnegut’s long-lasting legacy as an author, satirist, and playwright. Following the lecture, stick around for a Q&A about Kurt Vonnegut, the Vietnam War, and how his art and literature served as a form of protest.
This program will take place in the William H. Smith Memorial Library on Level 2. Advanced registration is recommended.
