God Bless, you, Dr. Kevorkian

Resumen del libro

So when my own time comes to join the choir invisible or whatever, God forbid, I hope someone will say 'He's up in Heaven now.' Who really knows? I could have dreamed all this."

"God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian" includes all of Kurt Vonnegut's intrepid investigative reporting from the afterlife, from when he was sent there in 1998 by local NPR affiliate WNYC to interview, among others, Sir Isaac Newton, Clarence Darrow, James Earl Ray, Eugene Debs, John Brown, Adolf Hitler, William Shakespeare, and Kilgore Trout.

What began as a series of ninety-second radio interludes evolved into this provocative collection of musings about who and what we live for, and how much it all matters in the end. From the original portrait by his friend Jules Feiffer that graces the cover, to the last word of the last entry, "God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian" is a joy forever.

Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007) was among the few grandmasters of contemporary American letters, one without whom the very term American literature would mean much less than it does. His books endure as defiant--and charming--embodiments of the heights to which the human imagination will go in search of essential rights and freedoms. Vonnegut's books from Seven Stories Press include the national hardcover and paperback bestseller, "A Man Without a Country"; "God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian"; and, with Lee Stringer, "Like Shaking Hands with God: A Conversation About Writing."
