Authors: Kurt Vonnegut kurt vonnegut jr

Description: "We are healthy only to the extent that our ideas are humane." So reads the tombstone"We are healthy only to the extent that our ideas are humane." So reads the tombstone of downtrodden writer Kilgore Trout, but we have no doubt who's really talking: his alter ego Kurt Vonnegut. Health versus sickness, humanity versus inhumanity--both sets of ideas bounce through this challenging and funny book. As with the rest of Vonnegut's pure fantasy, it lacks the shimmering, fact-fueled rage that illuminates Slaughterhouse-Five. At the same time, that makes this book perhaps more enjoyable to read."...

Description: An amazing photo-essay of a text book, each word drawn with more fondly obsessive care thanAn amazing photo-essay of a text book, each word drawn with more fondly obsessive care than your average Josef Kavalier comic-book cover. This book, about the journey of a young Jewish refugee finding fame and fortune through the most American of industries (and the people who love him), goes slower in some parts than others. but in all ways is a brilliant companion book to his similarly excellent Wonder Boys. Both totally different and noticeably the same, it's even more excellent. Highly recommended. ~EEHB...

Description: This book is three stories in one. There is the present told from the point of view of Jonathan,This book is three stories in one. There is the present told from the point of view of Jonathan, the present told from the point of view of a Ukranian translator, Alex, and the past, told through dreams and stories. It can sometimes be a challenging read - some of it is written in broken English, and some flashbacks are heavily peppered with Yiddish phrases - but the book is so beautiful it's worth the extra bit of effort....
