On April 11, 2007, Kurt Vonnegut died at the age of eighty-four. The life and career of the WWII veteran — who surprisingly never won the Nobel Prize or a Pulitzer for such literary masterpieces as Cat’s Cradle, Slaughterhouse-Five,, and The Sirens of Titan — will be celebrated at a Housing Works gathering on April 11, the fifth anniversary of his passing. The evening will be hosted by Brendan Jay Sullivan, who is at work on a manuscript about a kid who’s studying Vonnegut’s “Eight Rules of Creative Writing” from Bagombo Snuff Box: Uncollected Short Fiction. The evening will feature readings by Joe Garden, David Goodwillie, Dave Hill, Cat Marnell, and others, along with Bushwick Book Club songs based on Vonnegut books. In addition, there will be a silent auction including a watercolor donated by Kurt’s son Mark.
