Autobiography: general

"""An anthology in which Vonnegut freely quotes himself on everything from art and architecture to madness and mass murder...

Uncompromising.""-Los Angeles Times

""Honest and scarily funny, and it offers a rare insight into an author who has customarily hidden his heart.""-New York Times

Here we have a collection of essays and speeches by me, with breezy autobiographical commentary serving as connective tissue and splints and bandages. Here we go again with real life and opinions made to look like one big, preposterous animal not unlike an invention by Dr. Seuss...

"Kurt Vonnegutwas a master of contemporary American literature. His black humor, satiric voice, and incomparable imagination first captured America's attention inThe Sirens of Titanin 1959 and established him, in the words ofThe New York Times, as ""a true artist"" with the publication ofCat's Cradlein 1963. He was, as Graham Greene declared, ""one of the best living American writers."" Mr. Vonnegut passed away in April 2007."
