First Edition of Kurt Vonnegut's Final Book A Man Without A Country; Signed by Him With A Self-Caricature

A Man Without a Country (2005) is the last canonical work by Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007), the Indianapolis-born novelist, satirist, and counterculture's novelist whose Slaughterhouse-Five (1969) and Cat's Cradle (1963) established him as one of the supreme voices in the history of American letters. Part memoir, part social and political commentary, and part riveting personal conversation, the volume gathers essays and speeches composed over the preceding five years in which Vonnegut holds forth on life, art, politics, and the condition of the American soul with the indignant humanism, pacifism, and generosity of spirit that defined his voice across a career of more than five decades. “Like [that of] his literary ancestor Mark Twain, [Kurt Vonnegut’s] crankiness is good-humored and sharp-witted. . . . [Reading A Man Without a Country is] like sitting down on the couch for a long chat with an old friend" (The New York Times Book Review).
