Armageddon in Retrospect

Author: Vonnegut, Kurt

Prose: non-fiction

Published on 7 May 2009 by Vintage Publishing (Vintage Classics) in the United Kingdom.

First published on the anniversary of Kurt Vonnegut's death, Armageddon in Retrospect is a collection of twelve new writings - a fitting tribute to the author, and an essential contribution to the discussion of war, peace and humanity's tendency towards violence. Imbued with Vonnegut's trademark rueful humour, the pieces range from a visceral non-fiction recollection of the destruction of Dresden - to a painfully funny short story about three soldiers and their fantasies of the perfect meal.
