   Is Kurt Vonnegut a humanist?

   • In his late career book God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian, Kurt Vonnegut wrote, “I am a humanist, which means, in part, that I have tried to behave decently without any expectation of rewards or punishments after I’m dead.” Throughout his career, Vonnegut often wrote of his humanist views, tracing them back to his “freethinking” ancestors in Indiana.

   Does Mark Vonnegut have a wild card?

   • We throw in a Mark Vonnegut memoir once in a while, and we include a wild card every year, something that’s not Vonnegut, but it’s maybe somewhat similar, ranging from predictable choices like Catch-22 and Fahrenheit 451 to more contemporary books like The Sellout by Paul Beatty or Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World by Haruki Murakami.

   Did Vonnegut throw people off when he was born?

   • The text describes what the infant Jesus was seeing as he was born. It refers to a virgin with child, and it says, “God is with us.” So Vonnegut would do things to throw people off, even to upset them sometimes. But that one is a little hard to figure. I guess that was kind of surprising.

   Why did Vonnegut write the Bible?

   • He wrote the text to accompany these very simple illustrations by Ivan Chermayeff. The text describes what the infant Jesus was seeing as he was born. It refers to a virgin with child, and it says, “God is with us.” So Vonnegut would do things to throw people off, even to upset them sometimes. But that one is a little hard to figure.
