OLLI Wednesday Series: So It Goes

Calling all Kurt Vonnegut fans! On April 22 at 2:00 p.m. in the Cunningham Memorial Library, Chris Lafave, curator of the Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library, presents an insightful and warmly irreverent look at the life of one of America’s most original literary voices. This program explores Vonnegut’s Midwestern roots, the hardships that shaped his worldview, and the failures he wore like badges of honor. With wit and compassion, Lafave examines how tragedy forged Vonnegut’s humor, how rejection sharpened his satire, and how a deep belief in human dignity guided even his most outrageous stories. The talk offers a candid portrait of an author who turned irony into truth and absurdity into art, reminding all why his voice still matters.
