People may find fault with Vonnegut for his know-it-all, been-there-done-that tone in this memoir. People may not even find anything new or insightful in here since every person well-versed with current affairs and the nitty-gritties of international politics has at least a second-hand knowledge of ...
Allow me to quote my dearest Alice: "Curiouser and curiouser!"This is indeed a peculiar little book. It is almost impossible to define, and a struggle to categorize. Some parts of it read like a memoir, as Vonnegut reflects on his childhood, his career and the time period he grew up in. But "A Man W...
Cada vez que más leo a Kurt más lo amo. Esta es como lo más cercano a una memoria de el. Es como un ensayo de lo que piensa acerca de varios temas. Si les gusta como escribe leanlo, si no, mejor ni se acerquen.
There is no way I can fully appreciate this book and this author, the legendary Kurt Vonnegut, simply because of me being not an American. His writings, no, not exactly his writings, but it's his mindset, it's indescribable.

There's just no other mind that works anything like his. Of course, every mind is unique, but most of us are depressingly ordinary, myself i...
As seems to happen often, I became a fan of Vonnegut during college. It's been a few years since then and so to finally hear him writing in his own voice about his own thoughts, as opposed to getting to know him through the eyes of his fictional characters, was very cool. The sarcasm, the dry wit, t...
It's sad and scary that Kurt Vonnegut basically gave up on humanity at the end of his life. This collection is OK, but I'm on the same side of the political fence as him, so it mainly felt like I was being lectured by an angry uncle. I get it, Uncle Kurt. OK Uncle Kurt. Yes I will run along and get ...
