Imbued with Vonnegut's trademark rueful humor and outraged moral sense, the pieces range from a letter written by Vonnegut to his family in 1945, informing them that he'd been taken prisoner by the Germans, to his last speech, delivered after his death by his son Mark, who provides a warmly personal introduction to the collection. Taken together, these pieces provide fresh insight into Vonnegut's enduring literary genius and reinforce his ongoing moral relevance in today's world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eIncludes an Introduction by Mark Vonnegut\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKurt Vonnegut\u003c\/b\u003e was a master of contemporary American literature. His black humor, satiric voice, and incomparable imagination first captured America's attention in \u003ci\u003eThe Sirens of Titan\u003c\/i\u003e in 1959 and established him, in the words of \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, as \"a true artist\" with the publication of \u003ci\u003eCat's Cradle\u003c\/i\u003e in 1963. He was, as Graham Greene declared, \"one of the best living American writers.\" Mr. Vonnegut passed away in April 2007.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.1 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 07, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45604433592364,"sku":"9780425226896","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/smartsupplydeals.com\/products\/armageddon-in-retrospect-and-other-new-and-unpublished-writings-on-war-and-peace-paperback","provider":"Smart supply deals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
