In this wondrous assemblage of mini-memoirs, we discover his family's legacy and his obstinate, unfashionable humanism."-Studs Terkel "This book is nothing if not a big shot in the arm of concentrated hope."--The Sycamore Review "No other American humorist see-saws from gravity to gobbledygook this effectively, in part because for Vonnegut the two are always connected.
