A Man without a Country is Kurt Vonnegut's hilarious and razor-sharp look at life ("If I die--God forbid--I
would like to go to heaven to ask somebody in charge up there, 'Hey, what was the good news and what was the bad
news?"), art ("To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So
do it."), politics ("I asked former Yankees pitcher Jim Bouton what he thought of our great victory over
Iraq and he said, 'Mohammed Ali versus Mr. Rogers."), and the condition of the soul of America today ("What
has happened to us?"). Gleaned from short essays and speeches composed over the last five years and plentifully
illustrated with artwork by the author throughout, A Man Without a Country gives us Vonnegut both speaking out
with indignation and writing tenderly to his fellow Americans, sometimes joking, at other times hopeless, always
searching.
