A tiny review of “A man without a country”
Hi everyone,
Some days ago I ran into “A man without a country” by Kurt Vonnegut. It intrigued me, Mr. Vonnegut is really famous and I hadn’t read any of his books. I read the book in English. And I’m not a native speaker.
I really liked the book and it’s important for me to cite some ideas from it. Here they are:
- “I think that novels that leave out technology misrepresent life as badly as Victorians misrepresented life by leaving out sex”
- “Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you’ve been to college.”
- “If I should ever die, god Forbid, let this be my epitaph: THE ONLY PROOF HE NEEDED FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD WAS MUSIC”
- “I think one of the biggest mistake we’re making, second only to being people, has to do with what time really is.”
So read it if those phrases intrigued you. The book shows us a great writer and a great personality. I will definitely read his other books too.
