Praise for Deadeye Dick

€œA moving fable . . . Vonnegut, sweet cynic and ugly duckling, continues to write gentle swan songs for our uncivil society.€€"Playboy 
 
€œA brilliantly unconventional novel . . . a must for all Vonnegut fans.€€"Worcester Sunday Telegram
 
€œHits 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
 
€œVonnegut 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
  
€œPlayful 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
 
€œEndearing and enchanting . . . a wise and charming book . . . very full of life.€€"Glamour
