A magnificent selection of essays, interviews, critical articles, and publicistic writing from the brightest period of the great American writer’s work— from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s.
This book was called “funny and frightening, tender and sad,” but Vonnegut himself described it like this: “I was simply trying to tell the bare truth, without any artistic embellishments.” So: “Kurt Vonnegut’s ‘the laughing vice of the Apocalypse’”—about writing and writers, science fiction and great mystics, about politics, war, serial killers, astronautics, Africa, mass culture—and really, about everything in the world… the way he knew how to do it.
