NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER â€¢Â â€œFor all those who have lived with Vonnegut in their imaginations . . . this is what he is like in person.â€â€“USA Today

In a volume that is penetrating, introspective, incisive, and laugh-out-loud funny, one of the great men of letters of this ageâ€“or any ageâ€“holds forth on life, art, sex, politics, and the state of Americaâ€™s soul. From his coming of age in America, to his formative war experiences, to his life as an artist, this is Vonnegut doing what he does best: Being himself. Whimsically illustrated by the author, A Man Without a Country is intimate, tender, and brimming with the scope of Kurt Vonnegutâ€™s passions.

Praise for A Man Without a Country

â€œ[This] may be as close as Vonnegut ever comes to a memoir.â€â€“Los Angeles Times

â€œLike [that of] his literary ancestor Mark Twain, [Kurt Vonnegutâ€™s] crankiness is good-humored and sharp-witted. . . . [ReadingÂ A Man Without a CountryÂ is] like sitting down on the couch for a long chat with an old friend.â€â€“The New York Times Book Review

â€œFilled with [Vonnegutâ€™s] usual contradictory mix of joy and sorrow, hope and despair, humor and gravity.â€â€“Chicago Tribune

â€œFans will linger on every word . . . as once again [Vonnegut] captures the complexity of the human condition with stunning calligraphic simplicity.â€â€“The Australian

â€œThank God, Kurt Vonnegut has broken his promise that he will never write another book. In this wondrous assemblage of mini-memoirs, we discover his familyâ€™s legacy and his obstinate, unfashionable humanism.â€â€“Studs Terkel
