Klappentext:
_______________'Part memoir, part rant and part joke ... as elusive as it is beguiling' - Sunday Times'If Vonnegut isn't the enduring Good Humor man, who is?' - John Irving, The Times'One of the greatest writers of the past 50 years' - Daily Telegraph_______________Comic riffs and diatribes on the America of G.W. Bush from the author of Slaughterhouse 5This is vintage Vonnegut - hilariously funny and razor-sharp as he fixes his gaze on art, politics, himself and the condition of the soul of America today. Written over five years in the form of a loose memoir, A Man Without a Country is an intimate and tender communication to us all, sometimes despairing, always searching and ultimately wise and compassionate.
Rezension:
'Part memoir, part rant and part joke, Vonnegut's latest book is as elusive as it is beguiling. Throughout this slim volume, the author walks a fine line between despair over our deteriorating world and a consummate entertainer's urge to amuse' Sunday Times
