They had their first child, Mark.Vonnegut did advertising job at General Electric to support his family and began writing short fiction on the side.In 1952, his dystopian apprentice novel Player Piano was published. within the next ten years the short-story market was drying up so he turned his attention towards novels.He published the whimsical sci-fi epic The Sirens of Titan, the spy novel Mother Night, the fanciful anthropological satire of religion Cat’s Cradle, a critique of economic injustice, God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater and, in 1969, his Dresden novel, Slaughterhouse-Five.By the early 1970s, Vonnegut was one of the most famous living writers on earth.Yet, the 1970s proved a difficult time for Vonnegut. In the 1980s, Vonnegut entered a second major phase of his career.

He was mourned the world over as one of the great American writers of the second half of the 20th century.
