Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Reads like a madcap Montaigne on acid" (Metro)

"The most entertaining of American writers, almost a new Mark Twain...his words can travel on through time" (Daily Mail)

"The wittiest man since Groucho Marx and the wisest since Karl Marx" (The Times)

"Imbued with the innocence, empathy, and kindness that always seemed central to Vonnegut's sensibility" (Lionel Shriver Financial Times)

"(Vonnegut) was a splendid preacher of American populism at its most radical...always funny and sometimes refreshingly vulgar" (Independent)

Reseña del editor:

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. Imbued with Vonnegut's trademark rueful humour, the pieces range from a visceral non-fiction recollection of the destruction of Dresden - to a painfully funny short story about three soldiers and their fantasies of the perfect meal.
