A Man without a Country

Fülszöveg

"For all those who have lived wíth Vonnegut in their imaginations . . . this ís what he is like in person." —USA Today
In a volume that is penetrating, introspective, incisive, and laugh-out-loud funny, one of the great men of letters of this era — or any era —holds forth on life, art, sex, politics, and the state of America s soul. Whether he is describing his coming of age in America, his formative war experiences, or 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.

Country is] like sitting down on the couch for a long chat with an old friend."
— The New York Times Book Review

"Fiiled with [Vonnegut s] usual contradictoiy mix of joy and sorrow, hope and despair, humor and gravity." —Chicago Tribüné
"Fans will linger on every word . . . as once again [Vonnegut] captures the complexity of the humán condition with stunning calligraphic simplicity."
— The Auátralian
"Thank God, Kurt Vonnegut has broken his promise that he will never write another book. In this wondrous assemblage of mini-memoirs, we dis-cover his family's legacy and his obstinate, unfashionable humanism."
