Deadeye Dick: A Novel, Packaging May Vary

â‚¬Å“The master at his quirky, provocative best.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"Cosmopolitan

Deadeye Dick is Kurt Vonnegutâ‚¬s funny, chillingly satirical look at the death of innocence. Amid a true Vonnegutian host of horrorsâ‚¬"a double murder, a fatal dose of radioactivity, a decapitation, an annihilation of a city by a neutron bombâ‚¬"Rudy Waltz, aka Deadeye Dick, takes us along on a zany search for absolution and happiness. Here is a tale of crime and punishment that makes us rethink what we believe . . . and who we say we are.

Praise for Deadeye Dick

â‚¬Å“A moving fable . . . Vonnegut, sweet cynic and ugly duckling, continues to write gentle swan songs for our uncivil society.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"PlayboyÂ
Â
â‚¬Å“A brilliantly unconventional novel . . . a must for all Vonnegut fans.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"Worcester Sunday Telegram
Â
â‚¬Å“Hits the bullâ‚¬s-eye . . . dolefully celebrates the randomness of life, treating private and public disasters with a kind of reckless whimsy. . . . You donâ‚¬t read Kurt Vonnegut for meaning exactly. You read him for the sad-funny attitude of mind, the kind of weirdness that can interpret the worldâ‚¬s weirdness.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"USA Today
Â
â‚¬Å“Vonnegut is beguiling as ever . . . Incredible plot constructions and inventive language continue to leap from his typewriter . . . the humor is natural and inborn; the insight usually purchased by his characters at painfully high cost. Funny how life turns out. Even funnier how Mr. Vonnegut turns lifeâ‚¬s insanities into funny, profound sense. That takes a masterâ‚¬s touch. Mr. Vonnegut still has it.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"Kansas City Star
Â Â
â‚¬Å“Playful and imaginative . . . On finishing the novel, the kitchen of your mind is a cleaner and more well-lighted place than it was before.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"Houston Chronicle
Â
â‚¬Å“Endearing and enchanting . . . a wise and charming book . . . very full of life.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"Glamour
