A Man Without a Country

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. Praise for A Man Without A Country 'Thank God, Kurt Vonnegut has broken his promise that he will never write another book. In this wondrous assemblage of mini-memoirs, we discover his family?s legacy and his obstinate, unfashionable humanism.? Studs Terkel 'Vonnegut's A Man without a Country is pure late Twain, darkly funny, never less than enraged at corruption and greed, and overflowing with compassion for the powerless. We've never needed him more' Russell Banks
