An 'autobiographical collage' of speeches, stories and essays from novelist Kurt Vonnegut

FROM THE ONE-OF-A-KIND IMAGINATION THAT BROUGHT US SLAUGHTERHOUSE 5 AND CAT'S CRADLE

'Kurt Vonnegut is either the funniest serious writer around or the most serious funny writer' Los Angeles Times Book Review

An 'autobiographical collage' of speeches, stories and essays, in Palm Sunday, Kurt Vonnegut writes beguilingly about everything from country music to George Bush, his favourite comedians to his mother's midnight mania, and bittersweet tributes to a dead best friend and a dead marriage.

Resonating with his singular voice, this is a self-portrait in writing that showcases why Kurt Vonnegut is as genius an essayist and commentator on American society as he is a novelist.

Many of his fans will enjoy the opportunity to dig throughthese old cigar boxes crammed with Vonnegut's stuff, a fitting remembrance of an American original

David Wright, Booklist

After Vonnegut, everything else seems a bit tame

Spectator

One of the master alchemists of modern American fiction

Sunday Times

A cool writer, at once throwaway and passionate and very funny

Financial Times

A brilliant wacky ideas-monger
