Armageddon in Retrospect

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 *
The best of these unpublished pieces are as mad, bitter, hilarious and, in their healthy disrespect not only for ‘Get Tough America’ but for humanity in general, as startlingly timely as the best of his output * Daily Telegraph *
You should buy this book * Spectator *
Dark, funny and disturbing * London Review of Books *
