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

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...
評分 評分《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...
評分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...
評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...
