The World of Kurt Vonnegut is a six-book series in which Peter Cawdron writes fiction set in and inspired by the worlds of Kurt Vonnegut’s novels. The Bell Curse (2013) kicks off the series, and Peace in Amber (2014) is probably the most notable entry, engaging directly with the themes of Slaughterhouse-Five. Other entries like Children’s Crusade further explore Vonnegut’s universe.
These books are an unusual project, sitting somewhere between fan fiction and tribute. Cawdron brings his own science fiction style to Vonnegut’s concepts, creating something that is both an homage and an original exploration of familiar ideas.
