关于此电子书

Wampeters, Foma & Granfalloons is a rare opportunity to experience Kurt Vonnegut speaking in his own voice about his own life, his views of the world, his writing, and the writing of others. An indignant, outrageous, witty, deeply felt collection of reviews, essays, and speeches, this is a window not only into Vonnegut’s mind but also into his heart.

“A book filled with madness and truth and absurdity and self-revelation . . . [Vonnegut is] a great cosmic comedian and rattler of human skeletons, an idealist disguised as a pessimist.”—St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Includes the following essays, speeches, and works:

“Science Fiction”
“Brief Encounters on the Inland Waterway”
“Hello, Star Vega”
“Teaching the Unteachable”
“Yes, We Have No Nirvanas”
“Fortitude”
“‘There’s a Maniac Loose Out There’”
“Excelsior! We’re Going to the Moon! Excelsior!”
“Address to the American Physical Society”
“Good Missiles, Good Manners, Good Night”

作者简介

Kurt Vonnegut’s humor, satiric voice, and incomparable imagination first captured America’s attention in The Sirens of Titan in 1959 and established him as “a true artist” (The New York Times) with Cat’s Cradle in 1963. He was, as Graham Greene declared, “one of the best living American writers.” Mr. Vonnegut passed away in April 2007.
