Fates Worse Than Death: An Autobiographical Collage

Fates Worse Than Death: An Autobiographical Collage - Kurt Vonnegut

Fates Worse Than Death: An Autobiographical Collage

In this revealing collection of essays, Vonnegut examines the issues and events (both personal and social) that shaped the last decade. Ranging from an intimate portrait of his family to a biting commentary of ex-son-in-law Geraldo Rivera to the 1945 firebombing of Dresden, Germany, where he was a POW, this book "offers a rare insight into an author who has customarily hidden his heart" (New York Times).
"An anthology in which Vonnegut freely quotes himself on everything from art and architecture to madness and mass murder...Uncompromising."--Los Angeles Times

"Honest and scarily funny, and it offers a rare insight into an author who has customarily hidden his heart."--New York Times

Here we have a collection of essays and speeches by me, with breezy autobiographical commentary serving as connective tissue and splints and bandages. Here we go again with real life and opinions made to look like one big, preposterous animal not unlike an invention by Dr. Seuss...

--Kurt Vonnegut, from Fates Worse Than Death
