Praise for Deadeye Dick

A moving fable . . . Vonnegut, sweet cynic and ugly duckling, continues to write gentle swan songs for our uncivil society.Playboy

A brilliantly unconventional novel . . . a must for all Vonnegut fans.Worcester Sunday Telegram

Hits the bulls-eye . . . dolefully celebrates the randomness of life, treating private and public disasters with a kind of reckless whimsy. . . . You dont read Kurt Vonnegut for meaning exactly. You read him for the sad-funny attitude of mind, the kind of weirdness that can interpret the worlds weirdness.USA Today

Vonnegut is beguiling as ever . . . Incredible plot constructions and inventive language continue to leap from his typewriter . . . the humor is natural and inborn; the insight usually purchased by his characters at painfully high cost. Funny how life turns out. Even funnier how Mr. Vonnegut turns lifes insanities into funny, profound sense. That takes a masters touch. Mr. Vonnegut still has it.Kansas City Star

Playful and imaginative . . . On finishing the novel, the kitchen of your mind is a cleaner and more well-lighted place than it was before.Houston Chronicle

Endearing and enchanting . . . a wise and charming book . . . very full of life.Glamour
