Author Information

Kurt Vonnegut's black humor, satiric voice, and incomparable imagination first captured America's attention in The Sirens of Titan in 1959 and established him as a true artist (The New York Times) with Cat's Cradle in 1963. He was, as Graham Greene declared, one of the best living American writers. Vonnegut passed away in April 2007. Karen White is the New York Times bestselling author of more than twenty novels, including the Tradd Street series, Dreams of Falling and The Time Between. She is the co-author of The Forgotten Room and The Glass Ocean with New York Times bestselling authors Beatriz Williams and Lauren Willig. She grew up in London but now lives with her husband and two children near Atlanta, Georgia. Author, editor, and writing teacher Suzanne McConnell was a student of Kurt Vonnegut's at the Iowa Writers' Workshop during its heyday, the period from 1965-67, when Vonnegut-along with Nelson Algren and other notable authors-was in residence, and was finishing his masterpiece, Slaughterhouse Five. Vonnegut and McConnell became friends, and stayed so for many years. She has published short memoirs of him in the Brooklyn Rail and the Writer's Digest, and led a panel at the 2014 AWP conference on Vonnegut's legacy, titled Vonnegut's Legacy: Writing about War and Other Debacles of the Human Condition. McConnell has taught writing at Hunter College for thirty years, and serves as the Fiction Editor of the Bellevue Literary Review. She lives in New York City and Wellfleet, Massachusetts, with her husband, the artist Gary Kuehn.
