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
勒德主义者(Luddite)又可以翻译成“勒德分子”,近年来成为了一个热门词,指的是仇视一切新奇的发明乃至科技进步的人。在200年前的1811年,工业革命的诞生地英国,失业的纺织工人捣毁了他们视为罪魁祸首的纺织机。他们的领袖据称名叫内德·勒德(Ned Ludd),后来因此而牺牲...
评分我觉得要发出自己的声音真的不是一件简单的事情. 尤其是对于社会的一些反面的声音. 有时候不是没有发泄的途径, 而是缺少了这样的勇气和态度. 跟着别人的脚印走似乎最安全. 还是要保持一颗爱骂的心 也许还能给自己的生活带来一点调味剂
评分《没有国家的人》这本书是冯内古特自1997年的第十四部小说问世之后,出版的第一部非虚构性作品,可以称之为随笔或评论。 “他告诉我在这个国家的奴隶制时代,奴隶主自杀的比例比奴隶的高多了。他说他认为这是因为奴隶懂得怎么克服绝望心理,这是他们的主人所不具备的。他可以...
评分在系图借书时,不经意瞥见“冯内古特”这几个字,眼睛瞬时发亮,这个老头的书几年前我就想看了,没想到如今得来如此偶然。而且这本书是他的最后一本书(也许老头子发猛了会再写一本)-----《没有国家的人》,从后往前看可能也不坏。 这是一本看来酣畅淋漓的书,老头...
评分这篇评论只是借了冯老先生的书名。我想尝试着说清楚对这个世界的一些看法。由于太过用力地摆脱“统一口径”,思维有些破碎。那就来些碎片吧。 这段时间最热闹的事件大概就是抵制家乐福了。抵制短信到处传播,为数众多的中华儿女群情激奋,义愤填膺,积极响应。 我...
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.
评分虎头蛇尾,发现新闻写作课的老师居然引用过他的“灰姑娘曲线”,真是人生何处不相逢了

评分When you get out of bed each morning, with the roosters crowing, wouldn’t you like to say. “As long as there is a lower class, I am in it. As long as there is a criminal element, I am of it. As long as there is a soul in prison, I am not free.”
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
