What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘Kurt Vonnegut is known less for his graphic art than for satiric masterpieces like Slaughterhouse-Five and Breakfast of Champions. But as a writer who draws, he’s not alone – Victor Hugo,Tom Wolfe, Günter Grass, and John Updike have all sketched and doodled…“Had my father been granted two lifetimes,” Nanette writes, “I have no doubt he would have mastered some aspect of the visual arts. And he would have cursed it and wished he had chosen to be a poet instead.”’ – New York Times Book Review
‘The refreshing images featured here “illustrate beautifully a creative mind at play,” and will delight Vonnegut fans.’ – Publishers Weekly
