A Man Without a Country

In 2005, Kurt Vonnegut — then eighty-two years old — was asked to write a book about whatever he wanted. What he produced was part memoir, part political essay, part meditation on American democracy, part collection of drawings, part farewell address. Vonnegut on the Iraq War. Vonnegut on his uncle Alex, who had the gift of noticing when he was happy. Vonnegut on the Sermon on the Mount and why it has never been taken seriously. Late Vonnegut — wiser, sadder, and still funnier than almost anyone. Published by Bloomsbury.
