A Man Without a Country pdf epub mobi 著者簡介

Kurt Vonnegut is among the very few grandmasters of contemporary American letters, without whom the very term "American literature" would mean less than it does. His novels include Cat's Cradle and Slaughterhouse Five, among so many others. Projects with Seven Stories Press in recent years include God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian and, with Lee Stringer, Like Shaking Hands with God, a book about writing. His most recent novel is Timequake (1997). In addition to his writing, Vonnegut is a visual artist of note. His paintings and prints can be seen at www.vonnegut.com. He lives with his wife, photographer Jill Krementz, in New York City.


A Man Without a Country pdf epub mobi 圖書描述

A Man Without a Country is Kurt Vonnegut's hilarious and razor-sharp look at life ("If I die-God forbid-I would like to go to heaven to ask somebody in charge up there, 'Hey, what was the good news and what was the bad news?'"), art ("To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it."), politics ("I asked former Yankees pitcher Jim Bouton what he thought of our great victory over Iraq and he said, 'Mohammed Ali versus Mr. Rogers.'"), and the condition of the soul of America today ("What has happened to us?"). Gleaned from short essays and speeches composed over the last five years and plentifully illustrated with artwork by the author throughout, A Man Without a Country gives us Vonnegut both speaking out with indignation and writing tenderly to his fellow Americans, sometimes joking, at other times hopeless, always searching.

From Publishers Weekly

In his first book since 1999, it's just like old times as Vonnegut (now 82) makes with the deeply black humor in this collection of articles written over the last five years, many from the alternative magazine In These Times. But the pessimistic wisecracks may be wearing thin; the conversational tone of the pieces is like Garrison Keillor with a savage undercurrent. Still, the schtick works fine most of the time, underscored by hand-lettered aphorisms between chapters. Some essays suffer from authorial self-indulgence, however, like taking a dull story about mailing a manuscript and stretching it to interminable lengths. Vonnegut reserves special bile for the "psychopathic personalities" (i.e., "smart, personable people who have no consciences") in the Bush administration, which he accuses of invading Iraq so America can score more of the oil to which we have become addicted. People, he says, are just "chimpanzees who get crazy drunk on power." Of course, that's exactly the sort of misanthropy hardcore Vonnegut fans will lap up—the online versions of these pieces are already described as the most popular Web pages in the history of In These Times.

A Man Without a Country pdf epub mobi 讀後感

評分

很多人對知識分子也許缺乏好感,這大概是受瞭影視作品的毒害,在描述中,知識分子總是些孱弱而乏味的中年人模樣,或鬱鬱寡歡,或苦大仇深,看彆人的眼神總像是人傢欠著他幾韆塊沒還,偶爾講一個笑話,也冷得使人連打寒顫。這樣的知識分子,說實話,真不怎麼可愛。如果去除學識...  

評分

這篇評論隻是藉瞭馮老先生的書名。我想嘗試著說清楚對這個世界的一些看法。由於太過用力地擺脫“統一口徑”,思維有些破碎。那就來些碎片吧。 這段時間最熱鬧的事件大概就是抵製傢樂福瞭。抵製短信到處傳播,為數眾多的中華兒女群情激奮,義憤填膺,積極響應。 我...  

評分

老嬉皮馮內古特先生在宣布永久“封筆”8年後,又給他的讀者們帶來一本《沒有國傢的人》。相比於他的其他著作,這本夾雜著迴憶和政論的隨筆和感言集恐怕算不上什麼正式作品。但要知道,寫這些文章的時候,馮內古特已經八十有二瞭。一般情況下,這應該是一個兒孫繞膝、安享晚...  

評分

庫爾特.馮內古特是個八十四歲的老頭子,應該也是美國稱為“垮掉的一代”(指五十年代)的年輕人,比他大三歲的塞林格就比較符閤垮掉的特點,不然《麥田守望者》裏的霍爾頓不會如此惶惶不可終日地暴走。 馮內古特本來已經封筆瞭,在1997他寫完最後的一本長篇小說《時震》後,結...  

評分

《沒有國傢的人》這本書是馮內古特自1997年的第十四部小說問世之後,齣版的第一部非虛構性作品,可以稱之為隨筆或評論。 “他告訴我在這個國傢的奴隸製時代,奴隸主自殺的比例比奴隸的高多瞭。他說他認為這是因為奴隸懂得怎麼剋服絕望心理,這是他們的主人所不具備的。他可以...

No matter how corrupt, greedy, and heartless our government, our corporations, our media, and our religious and charitable institutions may become, the music will still be wonderful... hah, i love this guy, and i wanna let it be my epitaph...

強烈推薦!

"No matter how corrupt, greedy, and heartless our government, our corporations, our media, and our religious and charitable institutions may become, the music will still be wonderful."

評分

這書寫於馮老頭八十二歲,三年後他死瞭。老頭說,幽默是保護自己遠離殘酷生活的方式。這本書結尾的時候老頭說,我曾是個有趣的人,或許現在我不再有趣瞭。生活的衝擊和失望如此之多,幽默恐怕已經無能為力。我不知自己以後會成為什麼樣子,但是如果一百年之後的人類依然會笑,我將歡欣鼓舞。

評分

interesting insights and brilliant humor. why didn't i perceive kinda good feeling about kurt's highly skilled language gift when i read its chinese version before? bummer. i like it.
