A Man Without A Country is Kurt Vonnegut's hilariously funny and razor-sharp look at life, art, politics, himself and the condition of the soul of America today. Written over the last five years in the form of a loose memoir, with the examples of Mark Twain, Jesus Christ, Abraham Lincoln, and a saintly doctor named Ignaz Semmelweis powerfully in mind, A Man without a Country is an intimate and tender communication from one individual to his fellow humans - sometimes kidding, at other times despairing, always searching. It is illustrated throughout with Vonnegut's trademark artwork.

  • Too short, too whimsical, too negative. But what the hell, it's his last book and I'll miss him. Vonnegut is one of my all-time favourite writers and I'd happily read his shopping list. He went out fighting. Godspeed.

  • Funny and moving

    "I put my big question about life to my son the pediatrician. Dr. Vonnegut said this to his doddering old dad: 'Father, we are here to help each other get through this thing, whatever it is.'"

  • Solo una citazione:
    I don't know about you, but I practice a disorganized religion. I belong to an unholy disorder. We call ourselves: "Our lady of perpetual astonishement".

  • Quite the funny discourse on the state of affairs in America today. However, it leaves you with a sense that you just aren't doing enough to make things better. Can any of us do enough?
