Kurt Vonnegut's work joins Kindle Worlds, Kilgore Trouts rejoice


Kurt Vonnegut's work joins Kindle Worlds fan fic program, Kilgore Trouts rejoice


Kindle Worlds has become unstuck in time. Amazon announced this morning that it has wrangled a license for Kurt Vonnegut’s work, bringing Cat’s Cradle, Breakfast of Champions and the like to the world of paid fan fiction. One rep from the author’s trust called the deal a, “natural extension of his legacy and a testament to the enduring popularity of his characters and stories.” At the very least, it marks a turn toward more classic literature (and, arguably, legitimacy) for a program that thus far includes the likes of Gossip Girl and The Vampire Diaries. And certainly Vonnegut’s vast catalog offers plenty of fodder for the prospective novelist, * and all.
