Fates Worse Than Death Summary

Fates Worse Than Death: An Autobiographical Collage by Kurt Vonnegut

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

Fates Worse Than Death Reviews

Praise for Kurt Vonnegut and Fates Worse Than Death

Mr. Vonnegut is perhaps more intimate with the reader than ever.-The New York Times

An often insightful and always funny self-portrait that may be as much of an autobiography as we will ever get from Vonnegut.-Playboy

The kindred spirit of Mark Twain harpoons humanity with howling assessments...Vonnegut's genius for satire continues to shine.-Nashville Banner

Mordantly funny...highly entertaining.-New York Newsday

About Kurt Vonnegut

Kurt Vonnegut was a master of contemporary American literature. His black humor, satiric voice, and incomparable imagination first captured America's attention in The Sirens of Titan in 1959 and established him, in the words of The New York Times, as a true artist with the publication of Cat's Cradle in 1963. He was, as Graham Greene declared, one of the best living American writers. Mr. Vonnegut passed away in April 2007.
