Summary

Armageddon in Retrospect Summary

Armageddon in Retrospect by Kurt Vonnegut

First published on the anniversary of Kurt Vonnegut's death, Armageddon in Retrospect is a collection of twelve new writings - a fitting tribute to the author, and an essential contribution to the discussion of war, peace and humanity's tendency towards violence. Imbued with Vonnegut's trademark rueful humour, the pieces range from a visceral non-fiction recollection of the destruction of Dresden - to a painfully funny short story about three soldiers and their fantasies of the perfect meal.

Armageddon in Retrospect Reviews

Reads like a madcap Montaigne on acid * Metro *
The most entertaining of American writers, almost a new Mark Twain...his words can travel on through time * Daily Mail *
The wittiest man since Groucho Marx and the wisest since Karl Marx * The Times *
Imbued with the innocence, empathy, and kindness that always seemed central to Vonnegut's sensibility -- Lionel Shriver * Financial Times *
(Vonnegut) was a splendid preacher of American populism at its most radical...always funny and sometimes refreshingly vulgar * Independent *
