I think it's the last book he published before his death, so he even sounds older and crankier in his writing. It's a nice short read (maybe an hour of time), and I can just hear him speaking to a crowd about how the Bush era screwed up so much (I'd be curious to hear his opinions about Obama, but sadly he's no longer with us).

This was the last book that Vonnegut published before his death, and he grumbles his way through it, sure that the world is dying along with him. While he certainly deserves to be able to write something as self-indulgent as this, I made the mistake of picking this up before having read any of his canonical stuff.

In a collection of brief autobiographical essays, the renowned novelist offers his views on art, politics, and everyday life in America. A Man Without a Country is Kurt Vonnegut's hilariously funny and razor-sharp look at life "If I die-God forbid-I would like to go to heaven to ask somebody in charge up there, Hey, what was the good news and what was the bad news?"), art ("To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it."), politics ("I asked former Yankees pitcher Jim Bouton what he thought of our great victory over Iraq and he said, Mohammed Ali versus Mr. Rogers."), and the condition of the soul of America today ("What has happened to us?"). Gleaned from short essays and speeches composed over the last five years and plentifully illustrated with artwork by the author in full color throughout, A Man Without a Country gives us Vonnegut both speaking out with indignation and writing tenderly to his fellow Americans, sometimes joking, at other times hopeless, always searching.
