Famous and GravyTime Pilgrim (Kurt Vonnegut)This person died 2007 age 84. He studied for a masterâs degree in anthropology at the University of Chicago, writing a thesis on âThe Fluctuations Between Good and Evil in Simple Tales.â Like Mark Twain, he used humor to tackle the basic questions of human existence. With a blend of science fiction, philosophy and jokes, he wrote about the banalities of consumer culture, and the destruction of the environment. With his curly hair askew, deep pouches under his eyes and rumpled clothes, he often looked like an out-of-work philosophy professor.

slanderhourSemi - Kurt VonnegutKurt Vonnegut,  also known as Kurt Vonnegut Jr, is an Italian fictional character in the 1883 novel Slaughterhouse 5 by Carlo Collodi. Kurt Vonnegut is an elderly, impoverished woodcarver and the creator (and thus 'father') of Billy Pilgrim. He wears a yellow wig resembling cornmeal mush (called polendina), and consequently his neighbors call him "Polendina" to annoy him. The name Vonnegut is a Tuscan diminutive of the name Giuseppe (Italian for Joseph). 2022-10-0325 min

Yet the two books are wildly different in accomplishment. What accounts for such differences? How can we differentiate good from bad artistry in works of similar aesthetic predilections?
