Welcome to Kurt Vonnegut Day!

Kurt Vonnegut is having a moment. His letters are being published today, and a book containing some of his never-before-published fiction came out earlier this month. We love him too, here at the Riot, so we’re hopping on the Vonnegut train to spend a day celebrating one of our favorite authors.
