Publisher Description
“[Kurt Vonnegut] is either the funniest serious writer around or the most serious funny writer.”—Los Angeles Times Book Review
In this self-portrait by an American genius, Kurt Vonnegut writes with beguiling wit and poignant wisdom about his favorite comedians, country music, a dead friend, a dead marriage, and various cockamamie aspects of his all-too-human journey through life. This is a work that resonates with Vonnegut’s singular voice: the magic sound of a born storyteller mesmerizing us with truth.
“Vonnegut is at the top of his form, and it is wonderful.”—Newsday
Customer Reviews
Essential
This is essential Vonnegut. Passionate, deeply moving, eye-opening, mind-expanding. And: funny. Of course, funny—the Vonnegut funny that has you laughing out loud in delight and joy at his mordant way of pointing out that the emperor has no clothes on. You always knew the bastard had no clothes on, but you may not even have been aware that you knew, until Mr. V so plainly and hilariously pointed it out. This discovery of what you already knew is part of the joy and delight.
“Palm Sunday” is “better,” if we must use such a word, than many of KV’s more famous novels. Do yourself a great favor and read it.
