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

评分很多人对知识分子也许缺乏好感,这大概是受了影视作品的毒害,在描述中,知识分子总是些孱弱而乏味的中年人模样,或郁郁寡欢,或苦大仇深,看别人的眼神总像是人家欠着他几千块没还,偶尔讲一个笑话,也冷得使人连打寒颤。这样的知识分子,说实话,真不怎么可爱。如果去除学识...

评分 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
