A Man Without a Country
Kurt Vonnegut
September 2005
A Man Without a Country (subtitle: A Memoir of Life in George W. Bush's America) is an essay collection published in 2005 by the author Kurt Vonnegut. The essays deal with topics ranging from the importance of humor in coping with life and current events, problems with modern technology, to Vonnegut's opinions on war, molded by his experience as a POW in Dresden during the 1945 bombings and firestorm that followed. Many of the essays explicate Vonnegut's views about Bush era politics and the issues in modern American society, often from a humanistic perspective.
Note: For young people and old people alike feeling lost generationally and societally, A Man Without a Country could be a helpfil bit.
