Description
The first and only collection of unpublished works by Kurt Vonnegut since his death—a fitting tribute to the author, and an essential contribution to the discussion of war, peace and humanity's tendency toward violence.
First published on the anniversary of Kurt Vonnegut's death, Armageddon in Retrospect is a collection of twelve new writings—a fitting tribute to the author, and an essential contribution to the discussion of war, peace and humanity's tendency towards violence. Imbued with Vonnegut's trademark rueful humour, the pieces range from a visceral non-fiction recollection of the destruction of Dresden to a painfully funny short story about three soldiers and their fantasies of the perfect meal.

Armageddon in Retrospect by Kurt Vonnegut is praised for its mix of humour and wisdom, with comparisons to influential figures like Mark Twain and Groucho Marx. Reviewers highlight Vonnegut's unique blend of innocence and empathy, alongside his talent for being both funny and unapologetically candid. The collection is noted for its radical American populism and enjoyable irreverence.
