Description
This is vintage Vonnegut - hilariously funny and razor-sharp as he fixes his gaze on art, politics, himself and the condition of the soul of America today. Written over the last five years in the form of a loose memoir, A Man Without a Country is an intimate and tender communication to us all, sometimes despairing, always searching and ultimately wise and compassionate.Blurb
