Description: | Select Guide Rating From riffs on country music, George Bush, and his mother's midnight mania, to a bittersweet tribute to a dead friend, this book demonstrates why Kurt Vonnegut is equally well known as an essayist and commentator as he is a novelist. It resonates with Vonnegut's singular voice. A diabolical government asserts control by eliminating orgasms from sex in the title story of Welcome to the Monkey House – setting the tone for a collection shot through with Vonnegut''s acrid wit, and his bewilderment at the corruption of humanity. |
