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

評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“...
評分库尔特.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...
評分2005年的作品,其时作者都83了。美国人的大脑有效期真长,我们这儿别说83了,38就不行了。基本上是他最近这些年发表过的一些文章的结集,内容是一些回忆、议论和幽默小品,也有几篇谈了谈卡夫卡和莎士比亚。至于核心内容,就一个:骂美国。对冯尼古特略有了解的人都知道...
評分被这本书所吸引是因为书名,以及冯内古特。 大学时基本上都在看美国小说,有段时间连续看了几本畅销小说,让人的触觉麻木,思维固化。而冯内古特的《五号屠场》的出现则是让人眼睛一亮,因为小说风格实在太与众不同了。与普通畅销小说的叙事技巧不同,《五号屠场》将...
聽老爺爺講講他對這個星球對自己的看法,就像他的小叔叔說的那樣:“如果此刻不美妙,我實在想不齣還有什麼是美妙的。”
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
评分如果每一個人都能做真實自己,敢於錶達自我,這個世界就沒有現在那麼糟糕吧。
评分Once you open K.V's books, you just cannot put them down. Brilliant!
