[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 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.

Über den Autor
Kurt Vonnegut's black humor, satiric voice, and incomparable imagination first captured America's attention in The Sirens of Titan in 1959 and established him as a true artist (The New York Times) with Cat's Cradle in 1963. He was, as Graham Greene declared, one of the best living American writers. Mr. Vonnegut passed away in April 2007.
