库尔特.冯内古特是个八十四岁的老头子,应该也是美国称为“垮掉的一代”(指五十年代)的年轻人,比他大三岁的塞林格就比较符合垮掉的特点,不然《麦田守望者》里的霍尔顿不会如此惶惶不可终日地暴走。 冯内古特本来已经封笔了,在1997他写完最后的一本长篇小说《时震》后,结...
评分很多人对知识分子也许缺乏好感,这大概是受了影视作品的毒害,在描述中,知识分子总是些孱弱而乏味的中年人模样,或郁郁寡欢,或苦大仇深,看别人的眼神总像是人家欠着他几千块没还,偶尔讲一个笑话,也冷得使人连打寒颤。这样的知识分子,说实话,真不怎么可爱。如果去除学识...
评分2005年的作品,其时作者都83了。美国人的大脑有效期真长,我们这儿别说83了,38就不行了。基本上是他最近这些年发表过的一些文章的结集,内容是一些回忆、议论和幽默小品,也有几篇谈了谈卡夫卡和莎士比亚。至于核心内容,就一个:骂美国。对冯尼古特略有了解的人都知道...
评分看这本书的时候,不厚道地想到了《寻欢作乐》里面毛姆的话,因为他活得足够老,所以终于登上了当今无人能及的文学宝座。 对于冯内古特来说,正是由于他活得足够久,他的前缀名由科幻小说家变成了黑色幽默小说家,随后是美国著名后现代小说家,然后这本书的后勒口说他是美国现代...

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
“[This] may be as close as Vonnegut ever comes to a memoir.”
– Los Angeles Times
“Like [that of] his literary ancestor Mark Twain, [Kurt Vonnegut’s] crankiness is good-humored and sharp-witted. . . . [Reading A Man Without a Country is] like sitting down on the couch for a long chat with an old friend.”
–The New York Times Book Review
In a volume that is penetrating, introspective, incisive, and laugh-out-loud funny, one of the great men of letters of this age–or any age–holds forth on life, art, sex, politics, and the state of America’s soul. From his coming of age in America, to his formative war experiences, to his life as an artist, this is Vonnegut doing what he does best: Being himself. Whimsically illustrated by the author, A Man Without a Country is intimate, tender, and brimming with the scope of Kurt Vonnegut’s passions.
“For all those who have lived with Vonnegut in their imaginations . . . this is what he is like in person.”
– USA Today
“Filled with [Vonnegut’s] usual contradictory mix of joy and sorrow, hope and despair, humor and gravity.”
– Chicago Tribune
“Fans will linger on every word . . . as once again [Vonnegut] captures the complexity of the human condition with stunning calligraphic simplicity.”
– The Australian
“Thank God, Kurt Vonnegut has broken his promise that he will never write another book. In this wondrous assemblage of mini-memoirs, we discover his family’s legacy and his obstinate, unfashionable humanism.”
–Studs Terkel
a former comedian turned grumpy because of Bush and our environmental policy? It probably better start from his novels instead of essays, which contain a lot of altitude and clever wording but not much of insights. Must be a lively character in person tho
