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...
評分睡前把剩的半本《没有国家的人》看完了,停也停不下来,怎么晚上消化力那么强呢,大概因为躺床上的专注,外面凄风苦雨,屋子里却暖暖,我带着一种幸灾乐祸+小富即安的满足感,却又没得读了,赶紧订了本《冠军早餐》。 Mr.冯就是个彻头彻尾的老愤青啊,这本可以像罗兰·巴特那样...
評分看这本书的时候,不厚道地想到了《寻欢作乐》里面毛姆的话,因为他活得足够老,所以终于登上了当今无人能及的文学宝座。 对于冯内古特来说,正是由于他活得足够久,他的前缀名由科幻小说家变成了黑色幽默小说家,随后是美国著名后现代小说家,然后这本书的后勒口说他是美国现代...
評分如果按照中国现在流行的说法,冯内古特会被许多人参照林奈老先生的分类学归到一种叫“愤青”的脑残生物种属,或许还要在前面加一个修饰词,“老”——“老愤青”。但其实这完全是两码事,其差异的程度完全等同于人与猪之间的差别,虽然两者都很“愤怒”,但本质的区别在于,冯...
評分虎頭蛇尾,發現新聞寫作課的老師居然引用過他的“灰姑娘麯綫”,真是人生何處不相逢瞭
评分大腿送的~
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.”

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
