fWotD Episode 2533: Kurt Vonnegut Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Thursday, 11 April 2024 is Kurt Vonnegut.Kurt Vonnegut ( VON-ə-gət; November 11, 1922 – April 11, 2007) was an American writer and humorist known for his satirical and darkly humorous novels. In a career spanning over 50 years, he published 14 novels, three short-story collections, five plays, and five nonfiction works; further collections have been published after his death.Born and raised in Indianapolis, Vonnegut attended Cornell University, but withdrew in January 1943 and enlisted in the U. S. Army. As part of his training, he studied mechanical engineering at the Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie Mellon University) and the University of Tennessee. He was then deployed to Europe to fight in World War II and was captured by the Germans during the Battle of the Bulge. He was interned in Dresden, where he survived the Allied bombing of the city in a meat locker of the slaughterhouse where he was imprisoned. After the war, he married Jane Marie Cox. He and his wife both attended the University of Chicago while he worked as a night reporter for the City News Bureau.Vonnegut published his first novel, Player Piano, in 1952. It received positive reviews but was not commercially successful at the time. In the nearly 20 years that followed, he published several novels that were well regarded, including two—The Sirens of Titan (1959) and Cat's Cradle (1963)—that were nominated for the Hugo Award for best science fiction or fantasy novel of the year. He published a short-story collection, Welcome to the Monkey House, in 1968. Vonnegut's breakthrough was his commercially and critically successful sixth novel, Slaughterhouse-Five (1969). Its anti-war sentiment resonated with its readers amidst the ongoing Vietnam War, and its reviews were generally positive. It rose to the top of The New York Times Best Seller list and made Vonnegut famous. Later in his career, Vonnegut published autobiographical essays and short-story collections such as Fates Worse Than Death (1991) and A Man Without a Country (2005). Since his death, he has been hailed for his dark humor commentary on American society. His son Mark published a compilation of his unpublished works, Armageddon in Retrospect, in 2008. In 2017, Seven Stories Press published Complete Stories, a collection of Vonnegut's short fiction.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:55 UTC on Thursday, 11 April 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Kurt Vonnegut on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Stephen Neural.
The Riptide Pirate's fight with Captain Widow reaches it's entangled conclusion.
i went to an estate sale last weekend and i bought two jars of rubber bands. one had red rubber bands. the other had green rubber bands. they were so neatly organized. so pleasing to look at. someone, and presumely this person is now dead, took the care to organize these jars of rubber bands and i knew immediately that i had to have them. it was sunday and in the last hour of the estate sale. everything was cheap and whatever was left over was probably destined for the landfill. is it my job to save all the treasurers of the recently deceased? no. but maybe. and i’ve saved other objects before. notebooks. homemade fridge magnets. odd collections of useless items. at least, the items are useless to me, but they were meaningful to someone. and that’s what draws me to them. i hope that some day someone decides that my trash is worth preserving. and in that trash, i will live forever.DOWNLOAD/STREAM RECORDING00:00 (intro by omar)00:20 Surface to Air Missive “Monster’s Mouth” Shelly’s Gone02:34 Erika Bell “Whales” Precept07:10 GOMME “Floss” Absent Healing10:31 J.F.

Ryan, Sam, and Chloe joined me for a fun conversation about their band Short Fictions. We talked a good amount about their amazing album from the end of 2019 called “Fates Worse Than Death.” Sam really expanded on the topics and themes for this album. He wrote about his fears of climate change and living in the city of Pittsburgh — where most of the band is from. We learned about their backgrounds and heard some interesting stories from over the years. The second half of the conversation is a one-on-one conversation with the drummer, Ryan. He is currently studying at North Texas, so we hear about what it’s like to balance school with touring. Also, there’s some information about what the band has been up to during the pandemic!

Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007), interviewed in 1991 by Richard Wolinsky and Richard A. Lupoff. March, 2019 marked the 50th anniversary of the publication of “Slaughterhouse Five.” In 1991, while on tour for his collection of essays, “Fates Worse Than Death,” Kurt Vonnegut Jr. stopped in the KPFA studios to speak with the hosts of the “Probabilities” program about his work, his career, and his feelings about life and politics. This interview was originally recorded in September, 1991 and was digitized, remastered and re-edited in 2011 by Richard Wolinsky. This was the last interview of any kind to occur in the off-air studio in KPFA's old offices on Shattuck Avenue in Berkeley. The new radio station on Martin Luther King Jr Way was already operational but we were able to squeeze in this last one in the old building. The post Encore Interview: Kurt Vonnegut, 1991 appeared first on KPFA.
