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

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
评分冯内古特老先生仙逝了 想起来年初看的他最后一本书:《没有国家的人》 又不禁很冒火 虽然这本书只是老冯水准之下的东西 但还是被世纪文景严重地糟蹋了 翻译是几个水平相当差的研究生,当然也挂了个教授的名号 然后世纪文景的编辑跟他们一样无知和敷衍(我甚至都不想补充一句“...
评分 评分Kurt Vonnegut’s master’s thesis in anthropology was rejected by the University of Chicago. “It was rejected because it was so simple and looked like too much fun,” Vonnegut writes. “One must not be too playful.” This excerpt from PALM SUNDAY, is the g...
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。”

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.”
