Kurt Vonnegut (1922?2007) was among the few grandmasters of contemporary American letters, one without whom the very term American literature would mean much less than it does. His books endure as defiant, and charming, embodiments of the heights to which the human imagination will go in search of essential rights and freedoms. Vonnegut’s books from Seven Stories Press include the national hardcover and paperback bestseller, A Man Without a Country, God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian, and, with Lee Stringer, Like Shaking Hands with God: A Conversation About Writing.
