vonnegut

So it grows.

“Indianapolis wasn’t always eager to associate with Vonnegut. Once upon a time, many in our city found him vulgar, obscene, and weird.”

“How do you follow something like Slaughterhouse-Five? It can’t be done.”

A historic playground for the state’s elite.

On downtown’s best street, the action shifts to the west end.

Rise for a standing ovation to this dazzling new space.

Make it a very Vonnegut holiday season.

“If I had a dime for every time someone came up to me and said, ‘I’m composing an opera,’ I’d be rich,” says the Indianapolis Opera managing director. “But as soon as Richard said ‘Kurt Vonnegut,’ I sat up a little straighter.”

With hammers and nails, an immigrant family builds a dynasty. From Vonnegut Hardwares stems an award-winning bike trail, a Ben Affleck flick, and one of 20th century’s most important writers.

Local spots for local writers.

Sometimes literary archives house hidden gems.
