Marvellous...the writing is pungent, the antics uproarious, the wit as sharp as a hypodermic needle" Daily Telegraph "A work of keen literary artistry" -- Joseph Heller "The individuality of Vonnegut's style is a curious yet perfect match for the pain of the emotional content. A humane, human book that always remains a work of art rather than biography, no matter how apparent the author's presence" -- Kate Atkinson "A laughing prophet of doom" New York Times "Unique" -- Doris Lessing
