Some get all the luck - but not Eugene Debs Hartke. Ex-Vietnam vet, ex-college professor, and now a TB-stricken inmate at Tarkington State Reformatory, his life has been warped by one ludicrous farce after another.

Comic riffs and diatribes on the America of G.W. Bush from the author of Slaughterhouse 5 This is vintage Vonnegut - hilariously funny and razor-sharp as he fixes his gaze on art, politics, himself and the condition of the soul of America today. Written over five years in the form of a loose memoir, A Man Without a Country is an intimate and tender communication to us all, sometimes despairing, always searching and ultimately wise and compassionate.
