kurt vonnegut specifically! i had read sirens of titan and cat's cradle, and just finally finished slaughterhouse five and its really one of the best pieces of media i've ever consumed. he writes in a way that makes even surreal or science fiction novels feel like a direct portrait of his own mind and the human mind in general; vonnegut's life, thoughts, feelings, and conscious bleed onto his pages in a way i don't believe any other artist really comes close to. an author i would recommend to truly anybody!
