NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
“[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.”
–Studs Terkel
库尔特·冯内古特(Kurt Vonnegut, 1922-2007),美国现代文学大师,黑色幽默派的代表人物,代表作有《五号屠宰场》、《猫的摇篮》、《冠军早餐》、《囚鸟》、《时震》等。
老嬉皮冯内古特先生在宣布永久“封笔”8年后,又给他的读者们带来一本《没有国家的人》。相比于他的其他著作,这本夹杂着回忆和政论的随笔和感言集恐怕算不上什么正式作品。但要知道,写这些文章的时候,冯内古特已经八十有二了。一般情况下,这应该是一个儿孙绕膝、安享晚...
评分 评分库尔特.冯内古特是个八十四岁的老头子,应该也是美国称为“垮掉的一代”(指五十年代)的年轻人,比他大三岁的塞林格就比较符合垮掉的特点,不然《麦田守望者》里的霍尔顿不会如此惶惶不可终日地暴走。 冯内古特本来已经封笔了,在1997他写完最后的一本长篇小说《时震》后,结...

评分a former comedian turned grumpy because of Bush and our environmental policy? It probably better start from his novels instead of essays, which contain a lot of altitude and clever wording but not much of insights. Must be a lively character in person tho
评分随便从哪页读起都行,每页都会幽上一默,轻松但却不失批判。If this isn't nice, I don't know what is.

评分听老爷爷讲讲他对这个星球对自己的看法,就像他的小叔叔说的那样:“如果此刻不美妙,我实在想不出还有什么是美妙的。”
