One of his favorite characters, aging writer Kilgore Trout, finds to his horror that a Midwest car dealer is taking his fiction as truth. The result is murderously funny satire as Vonnegut looks at war, sex, racism, success, politics, and pollution in America and reminds us how to see the truth.]]> 2778055 3.97 288646 12553 1973 135479 0140285601 9780140285604 1164 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172066038m/135479.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172066038s/135479.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/135479.Cat_s_Cradle 4.18 24468 2778055 3.97 288646 12553 1963 4985 0385333501 9780385333504 471 http://www.goodreads.com/images/books/49/985/4985-m-1255655590.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/books/49/985/4985-s-1255655590.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4985.Welcome_to_the_Monkey_House 4.05 10009 2778055 3.97 288646 12553 1968 9593 0385333870 9780385333870 470 http://www.goodreads.com/images/books/95/593/9593-m-1256151907.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/books/95/593/9593-s-1256151907.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9593.Galapagos 3.81 10101 2778055 3.97 288646 12553 1985 4982 1857988841 9781857988840 450 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165517166m/4982.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165517166s/4982.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4982.The_Sirens_of_Titan 4.05 8858 2778055 3.97 288646 12553 1959 9592 0385334141 9780385334143 405 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1233948781m/9592.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1233948781s/9592.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9592.Mother_Night 4.07 8023 Mother Night is a daring challenge to our moral sense.

“[This] may be as close as Vonnegut ever comes to a memoir.”
–Los Angeles Times

“Like [that of] his literary ancestor Mark Twain, [Kurt Vonnegut’s] crankiness is good-humored and sharp-witted. . . . [Reading A Man Without a Country is] like sitting down on the couch for a long chat with an old friend.”
–The New York Times Book Review

In a volume that is penetrating, introspective, incisive, and laugh-out-loud funny, one of the great men of letters of this age–or any age–holds forth on life, art, sex, politics, and the state of America’s soul. From his coming of age in America, to his formative war experiences, to his life as an artist, this is Vonnegut doing what he does best: Being himself. Whimsically illustrated by the author, A Man Without a Country is intimate, tender, and brimming with the scope of Kurt Vonnegut’s passions.

“For all those who have lived with Vonnegut in their imaginations . . . this is what he is like in person.”
–USA Today

“Filled with [Vonnegut’s] usual contradictory mix of joy and sorrow, hope and despair, humor and gravity.”
–Chicago Tribune

“Fans will linger on every word . . . as once again [Vonnegut] captures the complexity of the human condition with stunning calligraphic simplicity.”
–The Australian

“Thank God, Kurt Vonnegut has broken his promise that he will never write another book. In this wondrous assemblage of mini-memoirs, we discover his family’s legacy and his obstinate, unfashionable humanism.”
