Kurt Vonnegut: Unstuck In TimeKurt Vonnegut was an early influence of mine, the first author I ever truly became consumed by. I immersed myself in his novels in the year I spent reading, writing and working on art between high school and college, and his words had a significant effect on the formation of my world view. His cynical optimism was delivered with straight forward language and dark humor, as he over elaborated the small details to represent his broader perspective.
