Armageddon in Retrospect.
New York: Putnams, 2008. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Near Fine tight copy with previous owner inscription on flyleaf in a Fine price clipped dust jacket. Armageddon in Retrospect is a collection of twelve previously unpublished writings. Imbued with Vonnegut's trademark rueful humor and outraged moral sense, the pieces range from a letter written by Vonnegut to his family in 1945, informing them that he'd been taken prisoner by the Germans, to his last speech, delivered after his death by his son Mark, who provides a warmly personal introduction to the collection. Taken together, these pieces provide fresh insight into Vonnegut's enduring literary genius and reinforce his ongoing moral relevance in today’s world. Item #29209
