Unfortunately, in America, Vonnegut is ridiculously famous. Among secondary school students and other young Americans, Vonnegut is probably loved than Shakespeare, and more frequently read -- as opposed to "I consulted Wikipedia for a plot summary!" -- than Conrad, Austen, and all of the Brontes put together.
