If This Isn't Nice, What Is? (Much) Expanded Second Edition
The Graduation Speeches and Other Words to Live By
Best known as one of America's most astonishing and enduring contemporary novelists, Kurt Vonnegut was also a celebrated commencement address giver. Vonnegut never graduated from college, so his words to any class of graduating seniors always carried the delight, and gentle irony, of someone savoring an achievement he himself had not had occasion to savor on his own behalf. But about my Uncle Alex, who is up in Heaven now, Vonnegut, an avowed Humanist, would say sometimes in a graduation speech, one of the things he found objectionable about human beings was that they so rarely noticed it when they were happy. . . .

Über den Autor
Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007) was among the very few grandmasters of late-twentieth-century American letters, one without whom the very term American literature would mean much less than it does now. Vonnegut's other books from Seven Stories Press include his last major bestseller A Man Without a Country, as well as God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian and, with Lee Stringer, Like Shaking Hands with God. In addition to these books, Seven Stories also publishes Kurt's son Mark Vonnegut's bestselling memoir, Eden Express: A Memoir of Insanity, with a foreword by Kurt Vonnegut, and Gregory D. Sumner's history of Vonnegut's fourteen novels, Unstuck in Time: A Journey Through Kurt Vonnegut's Life and Novels. A longtime friend of Kurt Vonnegut's, Dan Wakefield edited and introduced Kurt Vonnegut: Letters. Wakefield is the author of the memoirs New York in the Fifties and Returning: A Spiritual Journey. His novel, Going All the Way, was made into a movie starring Ben Affleck. Wakefield also created the NBC prime-time series, James at 15. He lives in Indianapolis, Indiana.
