A Man Without a Country

this is probably kurt's softest/kindest novel. i say that because it seemed to lack the usual zingers kurt either doled out to his characters or to society.

i liked his "guessers" theory to describe the way some people behave in today's world.

No matter how early or late in his career, he is still great. It is a easy read and very enjoyable.

If you feel alone and misunderstood in today's Orwellian world where "war is peace, freedom is slavery [and] ignorance is strength", you'll discover a reassuring and kindred spirit in the late, great Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. His observations may resonate uncomfortably for some but they are refreshing, honest, to the point and spot on! Would that those in power ("They're trashing the planet!") took Mr. Vonnegut's insights to heart.

I've started re-reading all of the Kurt Vonnegut books I had in my house. I found six! Then I spotted this new one.

This last book is one of his best. I love the way he puts the strangest things together and makes them humorous. The poem at the end says it all.

I read this in one sitting this morning and I will not forget it. Oh, for more 'humanists' in the world, and especially in our country where this man is much more "Christian" than any self-proclaimed christian in the white house.
