Description
Selected and introduced by fellow novelist and friend Dan Wakefield, the speeches in If This Isn''t Nice, What Is? capture a different side of Kurt Vonnegut for the first time in book form. There are nine speeches, seven given at colleges, one to the Indiana Civil Liberties Union, one on the occasion of Vonnegut receiving the Carl Sandburg Award. In each of these talks Vonnegut takes pains to find the few things worth saying and a conversational voice to say them in that isn''t heavy-handed or pretentious or glib, but funny and serious and joyful even if sometimes without seeming so.
