HTML:<b>“The master at his quirky, provocative best.”—<i>Cosmopolitan</i></b><br /> <i>Deadeye Dick</i> is Kurt Vonnegut’s funny, chillingly satirical look at the death of innocence. Amid a true Vonnegutian host of horrors—a double murder, a fatal dose of radioactivity, a decapitation, an annihilation of a city by a neutron bomb—Rudy Waltz, aka Deadeye Dick, takes us along on a zany search for absolution and happiness. Here is a tale of crime and punishment that makes us rethink what we believe . . . and who we say we are.<br /> <b>Praise for <i>Deadeye Dick</i></b><br /> “A moving fable . . . Vonnegut, sweet cynic and ugly duckling, continues to write gentle swan songs for our uncivil society.”<b>—<i>Playboy </i></b><br />  <br /> “A brilliantly unconventional novel . . . a must for all Vonnegut fans.”<b><i>—Worcester Sunday Telegram</i></b><br />  <br /> “Hits the bull’s-eye . . . dolefully celebrates the randomness of life, treating private and public disasters with a kind of reckless whimsy. . . . You don’t read Kurt Vonnegut for meaning exactly. You read him for the sad-funny attitude of mind, the kind of weirdness that can interpret the world’s weirdness.”<b>—<i>USA Today</i></b><br />  <br /> “Vonnegut is beguiling as ever . . . Incredible plot constructions and inventive language continue to leap from his typewriter . . . the humor is natural and inborn; the insight usually purchased by his characters at painfully high cost. Funny how life turns out. Even funnier how Mr. Vonnegut turns life’s insanities into funny, profound sense. That takes a master’s touch. Mr. Vonnegut still has it.”<b>—<i>Kansas City Star</i></b><br />   <br /> “Playful and imaginative . . . On finishing the novel, the kitchen of your mind is a cleaner and more well-lighted place than it was before.”<b>—<i>Houston Chronicle</i></b><br />  <br /> “Endearing and enchanting . . . a wise and charming book . . . very full of life.”<b>—<i>Glamour</i></b>.
