description: Master storyteller and satirist Kurt Vonnegut was one of the most in-demand commencement speakers of his time. For each occasion Vonnegut's words were unfailingly unique insightful and witty and they stayed with audience members long after graduation.This expanded second edition includes more than sixty pages of further thoughts from Kurt (whose good advice wasnt limited to graduation speeches).As edited by Dan Wakefield this book reads like a narrative in the unique voice that made Vonnegut a hero to readers of all ages. At times hilarious razor-sharp freewheeling and deeply serious these reflections are ideal for anyone undergoing what Vonnegut would call their long-delayed puberty ceremonymarking the passage from student to full-time adult.
