New York Journal of Books Reviews "And So It Goes: Kurt Vonnegut: A Life" by Charles R. Shields

PRLog (Press Release) - Nov. 29, 2011 - New York Journal of Books reviewer Karen Dionne praises Charles R. Shields and says, "“Readers need not be familiar with Vonnegut’s oeuvre to enjoy this fascinating biography of an immensely talented and darkly complicated man. If the goal of a biography is to leave readers feeling as though they know the subject better than the subject knew themselves, then And So It Goes succeeds very well indeed because Charles R. Shields is, as he described himself in the letter that won over Vonnegut, ‘a damn fine researcher and writer.’”

Ms. Dionne also writes, "And So It Goes: Kurt Vonnegut: A Life breathes life into a man baby boomers thought they knew, and whose body of work a new generation is just discovering for the first time. Mr. Shields’s biography is the first book to examine, in full, the life of one of the most influential iconoclasts of our time."
