First published on the anniversary of Kurt Vonnegut's death,
Armageddon in Retrospect is a collection of twelve new writings - a fitting tribute to the author, and an essential contribution to the discussion of war, peace and humanity's tendency towards violence.
Reads like a madcap Montaigne on acid
The most entertaining of American writers, almost a new Mark Twain...his words can travel on through time
The wittiest man since Groucho Marx and the wisest since Karl Marx
Imbued with the innocence, empathy, and kindness that always seemed central to Vonnegut's sensibility
(Vonnegut) was a splendid preacher of American populism at its most radical...always funny and sometimes refreshingly vulgar
