Kurt Vonnegut was born on November 11, 1922, almost exactly 100 years ago. Few writers still feel as modern as Vonnegut, perhaps because his writing was driven by the absurdity and horror of the Second World War, and we still live in the atomic blast shadow of that conflict. This is a list of unusual and even unique Vonnegut items; there are also some books.
