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
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...

评分冯内古特老先生,已经仙逝了。 这个老嬉皮写《五号屠宰场》那会儿,中国的“顽主”们还穿开档裤哩。几十年过来了,老家伙的火气一点没见少,新书《没有国家的人》里头,把美国骂了个遍。他骂布什政府“有最令人恐怖的精神变态人格”;他骂比尔•盖茨,认为应该是他的“生命...
评分在系图借书时,不经意瞥见“冯内古特”这几个字,眼睛瞬时发亮,这个老头的书几年前我就想看了,没想到如今得来如此偶然。而且这本书是他的最后一本书(也许老头子发猛了会再写一本)-----《没有国家的人》,从后往前看可能也不坏。 这是一本看来酣畅淋漓的书,老头...
评分库尔特.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...
听老爷爷讲讲他对这个星球对自己的看法,就像他的小叔叔说的那样:“如果此刻不美妙,我实在想不出还有什么是美妙的。”
评分如果每一个人都能做真实自己,敢于表达自我,这个世界就没有现在那么糟糕吧。
评分听老爷爷讲讲他对这个星球对自己的看法,就像他的小叔叔说的那样:“如果此刻不美妙,我实在想不出还有什么是美妙的。”
评分大腿送的~
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
