Wampeters, Foma & Granfalloons (Opinions) is a rare opportunity to experience Kurt Vonnegut speaking in his own voice about his own life, his views of the world, his writing, and the writing of others. An indignant, outrageous, always witty, and deeply felt collection of reviews, essays, and speeches, this work is a window not only into Vonnegut' s mind...but also into his heart. " A great cosmic comedian and a rattler of human skeletons, an idealist disguised as a pessimist... has written a book filled with madness and truth and absurdity and self-revelation." -- " St. Louis Post-Dispatch"" He is our strongest writer... the most stubbornly imaginative." -- John Irving" "*" The New York Times"
