Vonnegut and Vietnam: A Conversation with Chris LaFave

Thursday, April 16, 1-2:30 pm | Included with admission

Kurt Vonnegut, an Indianapolis native, was well-known for his dialogue on war. Slaughterhouse-Five, Vonnegut’s 1969 anti-war novel, encouraged dialogue and reflection about the Vietnam War.  Join Chris LaFave, curator of the Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library, to engage and discuss Vonnegut’s long-lasting legacy as an author, satirist, and playwright. Following the lecture, stick around for a Q&A about Kurt Vonnegut, the Vietnam War, and how his art and literature served as a form of protest.  

This program will take place in the William H. Smith Memorial Library on Level 2. Advanced registration is recommended.
