  The Otter Limits — Authority: 111
  TITLE : A Man Without a Country AUTHOR : Kurt Vonnegut YEAR PUBLISHED : 2005 PUBLISHER : Seven Stories Press Another one of the few Vonnegut books that I havent read. From what I have heard about this book, this is less a work of fiction than it is a commentary on life and politics in America. In fact, I found ...

  Writing Boots — Authority: 107
  I would hesitate to divulge the size of my young ego, if I thought my readers hadnt sensed it long ago. In a college notebook that I filled in 1989 when I was a 20-year-old English major at Kent State University (and living at Sunrise Apartments). I was preparing to become a writer—writing about becoming one—and ...

• In Praise of Short Fiction

  
  Redtree Times — Authority: 107
  I’ve always been a fan of the short story.  I grew up reading the classic short stories of  Guy DeMaupassant , O. Henry and Edgar Allan Poe , all beautifully crafted and plotted.   There are short stories by other authore that are lodged deeply in the fabric of my memory, which helped shape how I view the ...

  *****ATTENTION!!!******WHORING AND SELF PROMOTION ***** DEAD AHEAD! *****DANGER!***** LOOK OUT! ***** The new black t-shirts are so black that they are the absence of light and the full spectrum of color.

• Cat’s Cradle CD

  
  Book Critic — Authority: 141
  Cat’s Cradle is by far the best Vonnegut novel that I have yet read. Blending his patented wry humor with acute social insight presented in an absurd fantasy world, Vonnegut has written an exceptional novel of love, lies, and the self destruction of mankind. The story centers around the narrator, Jonah, who is ...

• Kurt Vonnegut on Creativity

  
  Cila Warncke — Authority: 97
  The quote below is an excerpt from A Man Without A Country — a diamond of a book by the inimitable Kurt Vonnegut. To be as wise, incensed and articulate as Vonnegut is here (age 83) is surely one definition of success . If you want to really hurt your parents, and you don’t have the nerve to be gay, the ...

• Breakfast of Champions CD

  
  Book Critic — Authority: 141
  You know that anything goes once you pick up a work by the zany and terrific Kurt Vonnegut. The man knows how to dish up satire like none other. He’ll spew out his complaints about the government, the world, people, etc., and instead of making it sound like a bunch of inane ranting he uses all of that to create a ...
