Thankfully, Mr. Vonnegut broke his promise! He picked up his pen again. Still the same Vonnegut, the old hippie, who never fails to disappoint us. This book is the first work by American writer Kurt Vonnegut since he announced his retirement from writing in 1997. The articles in it were originally published in the Chicago left-wing magazine Contemporary. The book presents a variety of themes, sometimes on literature and art, sometimes on political commentary, and sometimes on history and life. It especially offers a keen and profound grasp of American society and the American psyche since September 11. The text is filled with the author's exceptional humor, his outstanding wisdom in observing the world, and his concern for the world. Sometimes optimistic, sometimes somber, even despairing, the vitality of thought and the intensity of critique run through it all.
