Review:
"Vonnegut is George Orwell, Dr. Caligari and Flash Gordon compounded into one writer."--Time
About the Author:
"A book filled with madness and truth and absurdity and self-revelation . . . [Vonnegut is] a great cosmic comedian and rattler of human skeletons, an idealist disguised as a pessimist."--St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Praise for Kurt Vonnegut "He is our strongest writer . . . the most stubbornly imaginative."--John Irving"Vonnegut is George Orwell, Dr. Caligari and Flash Gordon compounded into one writer."--Time
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.
