{"product_id":"deadeye-dick-a-novel-packaging-may-vary","title":"Deadeye Dick: A Novel, Packaging May Vary","description":"“The master at his quirky, provocative best.”—Cosmopolitan\n\nDeadeye Dick is Kurt Vonnegut’s funny, chillingly satirical look at the death of innocence. Amid a true Vonnegutian host of horrors—a double murder, a fatal dose of radioactivity, a decapitation, an annihilation of a city by a neutron bomb—Rudy Waltz, aka Deadeye Dick, takes us along on a zany search for absolution and happiness. Here is a tale of crime and punishment that makes us rethink what we believe . . . and who we say we are.\n\nPraise for Deadeye Dick\n\n“A moving fable . . . Vonnegut, sweet cynic and ugly duckling, continues to write gentle swan songs for our uncivil society.”—Playboy\n\n“A brilliantly unconventional novel . . . a must for all Vonnegut fans.”—Worcester Sunday Telegram\n\n“Hits the bull’s-eye . . . dolefully celebrates the randomness of life, treating private and public disasters with a kind of reckless whimsy. . . . You don’t read Kurt Vonnegut for meaning exactly. You read him for the sad-funny attitude of mind, the kind of weirdness that can interpret the world’s weirdness.”—USA Today\n\n“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 life’s insanities into funny, profound sense. That takes a master’s touch. Mr. Vonnegut still has it.”—Kansas City Star\n\n“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\n\n“Endearing and enchanting . . . a wise and charming book . . . very full of life.”—Glamour\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0385334176\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0385334176.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Vonnegut, Kurt\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
