My favorite author is Kurt Vonnegut. He was born on November 11, 1922 in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. He studied at Cornell University, but during World War II he volunteered for the army. His famous characters: Billy Pilgrim (soldier, ridiculous, timid, apathetic man), Felix Honikker (professor, who took part in the creation of the atomic bomb thrown in Hiroshima).
