About this product

Product Information

"The master at his quirky, provocative best."-- Cosmopolitan Deadeye Dick is Kurt Vonnegut's funny, chillingly satirical look at the death of innocence. Amid a true Vonnegutian host of horrors--a double murder, a fatal dose of radioactivity, a decapitation, an annihilation of a city by a neutron bomb--Rudy Waltz, aka Deadeye Dick, takes us along on a zany search for absolution and happiness. Here is a tale of crime and punishment that makes us rethink what we believe . . . and who we say we are. Praise for Deadeye Dick "A moving fable . . . Vonnegut, sweet cynic and ugly duckling, continues to write gentle swan songs for our uncivil society." -- Playboy "A brilliantly unconventional novel . . . a must for all Vonnegut fans." --Worcester Sunday Telegram "Hits the bull's-eye . . . dolefully celebrates the randomness of life, treating private and public disasters with a kind of reckless whimsy. . . . You don't read Kurt Vonnegut for meaning exactly. You read him for the sad-funny attitude of mind, the kind of weirdness that can interpret the world's weirdness." -- USA Today "Vonnegut is beguiling as ever . . . Incredible plot constructions and inventive language continue to leap from his typewriter . . . the humor is natural and inborn; the insight usually purchased by his characters at painfully high cost. Funny how life turns out. Even funnier how Mr. Vonnegut turns life's insanities into funny, profound sense. That takes a master's touch. Mr. Vonnegut still has it." -- Kansas City Star "Playful and imaginative . . . On finishing the novel, the kitchen of your mind is a cleaner and more well-lighted place than it was before." -- Houston Chronicle "Endearing and enchanting . . . a wise and charming book . . . very full of life." -- Glamour

  • Deadeye Dick

    Deadeye dick is another book by Vonnegut that makes you think while laughing at the sad condition of the human species. Rudy Waltz accidently kills a pregnant woman with a shot fired into the air and earns the nickname Deadeye Dick. This errant shot ruins his family and sends the reader into the world of the this family with all its eccentricities. A good book.
