“He is our strongest writer…the most stubbornly
imaginative.”–John Irving
KURT VONNEGUT is a
master of contemporary American literature. His black
humor, satiric voice, and incomparable imagination first
captured America’s attention in The Sirens of
Titanin 1959 and established him as “a true
artist”* with Cat’s Cradlein 1963. He is,
as Graham Greene has declared, “one of the best living
American writers.”
Wampeters, Foma &
Granfalloons (Opinions) is a rare opportunity to
experience Kurt Vonnegut speaking in his own voice about
his own life, his views of the world, his writing, and the
writing of others. An indignant, outrageous, always witty,
and deeply felt collection of reviews, essays, and
speeches, this work is a window not only into Vonnegut’s
mind...but also into his heart.
“A Great cosmic
comedian and a rattler of human skeletons, an idealist
disguised as a pessimist…has written a book filled with
madness and truth and absurdity and self-revelation.”–
