One of the greatest minds in American writing, Kurt Vonnegut has left an indelible impression on literature with such inventive novels as Cat's Cradle, Slaughterhouse- Five and Breakfast of Champions. Now this iconic figure shares his often hilarious and always insightful reflections on America, art, politics and life in general. No matter the topic, Vonnegut will have you considering perspectives you may do not have regarded. Within the creative process: "If you wish to really hurt your parents . minimal you are able to do is go in to the arts. I'm not kidding." On politics: "No, I am not going to perform for President, although I do know that a sentence, if it is to be complete, will need to have both a subject and a verb." On nature: "Evolution is so creative. That's how we got giraffes." On modern cultural attitudes: "Do you think Arabs are dumb? They gave us our numbers. Try doing long division with Roman numerals." And on the fate of humankind: "The good Earth-we could have saved it, but we were too damn cheap and lazy." A Man without a Country showcases Vonnegut at his wittiest, most acerbic, and most concerned. Beyond the humor and biting satire can be an appeal to all readers to provide careful thought to the globe around them and people they share it with.
