Like Shaking Hands With God

At Millennium's End

"Kevin Boon's At Millennium's End is a splendid collection of original essays about one of our most singular and enduring writers. The book includes a variety of new voices in Vonnegut criticism along with the most respected scholars in this area, including Jerry Klinkowitz, Donald Morse, Larry Broer, and Loree Rackstraw. Together they offer a unique perspective that makes this collection one of the best books on Vonnegut to appear in years." — Leonard Mustazza, author of Forever Pursuing Genesis: The Myth of Eden in the Novels of Kurt Vonnegut "This is a very important book in the area of Vonnegut studies. Vonnegut's long career corresponds almost exactly with the last half century, making this an appropriate point for evaluation. Besides consideration of the work of this one writer, the book addresses wider issues such as making fiction into film, narratology, and the nature of postmodernism." — Peter Reed, coeditor of The Vonnegut Chronicles: Interviews and Essays

Armageddon in Retrospect

Praise for Kurt Vonnegut and Armageddon in Retrospect“Gripping...demonstrates Vonnegut’s mind-boggling evolution as a writer, the manner in which he learned to cloak his rage in hilarity, to cop to his immense despair without surrendering to it.”—Salon“A terrific post-traumatic witnessing.”—Roy Blount, The New York Times Book Review“The dark irony that lies beneath Vonnegut's wry, satiric work is always in the service of the individual...and against the system.”—The Boston Globe“Vonnegut has proved more enduring than the counterculture that embraced him.”—The Village Voice “A voice like his doesn't fade. Vonnegut had a way of making the bleakest thought seem insanely funny.”—The San Diego Union-Tribune
