Vonnegut makes a return

Kurt Vonnegut is one of my favorite fiction writers of all time, Cat's Cradle being my favorite novel and Welcome To The Monkey House, my favorite collection of short stories. I am ill-read of his non-fiction except for essay which I thoroughly enjoyed (God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian), so I'm very interested in reading moe. He's published a collection of short non-fiction on topics from Bush to the environment entitled A Man Without a Country. CNN.com published a short piece on the popularity of the recently released collection in which Vonnegut is quoted as saying "My father, like Hemingway, was a gun nut and was very unhappy late in life. But he was proud of not committing suicide. And I'll do the same, so as not to set a bad example for my children."
