‘Kurt Vonnegut is either the funniest serious writer around or the most serious funny writer’ Los Angeles Times Book Review

An ‘autobiographical collage’ of speeches, stories and essays, in Palm Sunday, Kurt Vonnegut writes beguilingly about everything from country music to George Bush, his favourite comedians to his mother’s midnight mania, and bittersweet tributes to a dead best friend and a dead marriage.

Resonating with his singular voice, this is a self-portrait in writing that showcases why Kurt Vonnegut is as genius an essayist and commentator on American society as he is a novelist.
