Books like A man without a country by Kurt Vonnegut


In these twelve essays, originally published in the radical magazine *In These Times* and later collected into a bestselling volume of 350 000 copies in the United States, Kurt Von Negut offers a penetrating, witty examination of America and the world of his time. He cites inspiration from Mark Twain, Abraham Lincoln, early 20th‑century socialists, and even Jesus Christ, using these figures to launch barbed criticism of neo‑imperialism and the sickly capitalism of multinational corporations. Von Negut’s style is lively and discursive, extending into digressions about love for blues music, naive retellings of Kafka and Shakespeare, memories of the Dresden bombing, and experiences with the Grateful Dead, all illustrated by the author himself.
First publish date: 2005
