Realizó estudios de química en la Universidad de Cornell, que tuvo que interrumpir para unirse al ejército estadounidense durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En 1945, presenció como prisionero de guerra la matanza de cientos de miles de civiles en el bombardeo de Dresde. Esta experiencia lo marcó para siempre, tanto como el suicidio de su madre y la muerte de su hermana, para quien decía que escribía. Publicó libros de ensayos y de cuentos y obras de teatro, pero es en sus novelas donde Vonnegut consigue desplegar la verdadera originalidad de su imaginación, su visión pesimista del mundo y su inconfundible sarcasmo. Entre ellas, se destacan < em > Madre noche < /em > (1961), < em > Matadero cinco < /em > (1969), < em > Desayuno de campeones < /em > (1973, de próxima aparición en La Bestia Equilátera) y < em > Galápagos < /em > (1987). Murió en Nueva York el 11 de abril de 2007 a los 84 años. < br / > < em > Cuna de gato < /em > es su cuarta novela. La primera edición, de 1963, vendió solo 500 ejemplares. Desde entonces no ha dejado de ser traducida, reeditada y leída, y hoy fanáticos de todo el mundo la consideran una de sus obras maestras. La Bestia Equilátera la publica en una nueva traducción realizada por Carlos Gardini. < /p > < p > < !--[if gte mso 9] > < xml > < w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" DefUnhideWhenUsed="true"
