Our English classrooms are often only as vibrant as the literature that we teach. This book
explores the writing of contemporary American author Kurt Vonnegut who offers readers and
students engaging fiction and nonfiction works that confront the reader and the world. Here
teachers will find an introduction to the life and works of Vonnegut and an opportunity to
explore how to bring his works into the classroom as a part of the reading and writing
curriculum. This volume attempts to confront what we teach and how we teach as English teachers
through the vivid texts Vonnegut offers his readers.
