lots of great vonnegut
Review date: 1999-07-23 Rating: 10 out of 10
I had forgotten how much I liked vonnegut. if you haven't read him in a while, and don't care to read or reread one of his novels, this is the book for you. get the straight dope from the mans mouth in the many interviews. I found myself bumping around from section to section haphazardly, and then realizing that I had finished it all. its just that scattered.

This is one of Vonnegut's best books

I have read most of Vonnegut's books and I rank this near the top. It gives the reader a chance to get Vonnegut's incisive views on a wide range of issues. This is a must read for Vonnegut fans.
Will the real Kurt Vonnegut please stand up?

So here we have the first of what has become a bit of an obsession for Vonnegut: the autobiographical collage. This version is a bit better than the later entries, though, since it puts more emphasis on worldview-articles and less on endless ramblings of Vonnegut history and "what's on my mind today" type of things. Best of all is a trip to Burma during the revolution that ranks amongst the half a dozen best short pieces he's ever written. By itself, that piece is worth the price of admission. But with a few other good bits and pieces, this becomes a nice rest stop for Vonnegut fans, but little else. Perhaps if Vonnegut would truly throw himself into these works, and write some gut-wrenching auto-bio, I would be more convinced. But I always feel like he's holding back, and only putting out as much as he has to. Try this, Kurt: Re-read the Burma piece, and approach the rest of your life with the same passion.
