Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
Author
20th century
American novelist and satirist known for Slaughterhouse-Five, Cat's Cradle, and other works blending science fiction with dark humour and anti-war themes.
Connection to Taylor Swift
His treatment of the unanswerable 'why' of human suffering in Slaughterhouse-Five parallels epiphany's search for meaning in the bridge, where the speaker dreams of an explanation that never comes.
