Adam by Kurt Vonnegut -- Review

In the short story “Adam” by Kurt Vonnegut the main character is a man (his name is Heinz) who is waiting in the waiting room of a maternity hospital.

He and his wife are holocaust survivors. When a nurse informes Heinz that his son is born, he is very excited and wants to share it with everyone around him. But people are indifferent.

Kurt Vonnegut showed in this story how a life’s experience influences the ability of people to feel one another’s grief or joy.
