About this product

Product Information

To be published on the first anniversary of Kurt Vonnegut s death, Armageddon in Retrospect is a collection of twelve new and unpublished writings on war and peace. Imbued with Vonnegut s trademark rueful humor, the pieces range from a visceral nonfiction recollection of the destruction of Dresden during World War II a piece that is as timely today as it was then to a painfully funny short story about three privates and their fantasies of the perfect first meal upon returning home from war, to a darker, more poignant story about the impossibility of shielding our children from the temptations of violence. Also included are Vonnegut s last speech as well as an assortment of his artwork, with an introduction by the author s son, Mark Vonnegut. Armageddon in Retrospect says as much about the times in which we live as it does about the genius of the writer.
