Synopsis:

"Only Kidding 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 throughout, "Only Kidding gives us Vonnegut both speaking out with indignation and writing tenderly to his fellow Americans, sometimes joking, at other times hopeless, always searching.

Kurt Vonnegut is among the very few grandmasters of contemporary American letters, without whom the very term "American literature" would mean less than it does. His novels include "Cat's Cradle and "Slaughterhouse Five, among so many others. Projects with Seven Stories Press in recent years include "God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian and, with Lee Stringer, "Like Shaking Hands with God, a book about writing. His most recent novel is "Timequake (1997). In addition to his writing, Vonnegut is a visual artist of note. His paintings and prints can be seen at "www.vonnegut.com. He lives with his wife, photographer Jill Krementz, in New York City.

Daniel Simon is founder and publisher of Seven Stories Press and served as editor on two previous books by Kurt Vonnegut, "God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian and, with Lee Stringer, "Like ShakingHands God. Simon is also co-author of a biography of Abbie Hoffman, "Run, Run, Run: The Lives of Abbie Hoffman.
