　　NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER　　　　“[This] may be as close as Vonnegut ever comes to amemoir.”　　–Los Angeles Times　　　　“Like [that of] his literary ancestor Mark Twain, [KurtVonnegut’s] crankiness is good-humored and sharp-witted. . . .[Reading A Man Without a Country is] like sitting down on the couchfor a long chat with an old friend.”　　–The New York Times Book Review　　　　In a volume that is penetrating, introspective, incisive, andlaugh-out-loud funny, one of the great men of letters of thisage–or any age–holds forth on life, art, sex, politics, and thestate of America’s soul. From his coming of age in America, to hisformative war experiences, to his life as an artist, this isVonnegut doing what he does best: Being himself. Whimsicallyillustrated by the author, A Man Without a Country is intimate,tender, and brimming with the scope of Kurt Vonnegut’spassions.　　　　“For all those who have lived with Vonnegut in their imaginations. . . this is what he is like in person.”　　–USA Today　　　　“Filled with [Vonnegut’s] usual contradictory mix of joy andsorrow, hope and despair, humor and gravity.”　　–Chicago Tribune　　　　“Fans will linger on every word . . . as once again [Vonnegut]captures the complexity of the human condition with stunningcalligraphic simplicity.”　　–The Australian　　　　“Thank God, Kurt Vonnegut has broken his promise that he willnever write another book. In this wondrous assemblage ofmini-memoirs, we discover his family’s legacy and his obstinate,unfashionable humanism.”　　–Studs Terkel
