Summary: God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian
Comment: Several years ago, Kurt Vonnegut gave a series of radio broadcast talks, each 5 minutes long, where he "reported" fictional conversations with people in heaven. This book collects the transcripts of this radio series.
Vonnegut teams up with Dr. Kevorkian to bring about a series of "near death experiences". At the end of the dark tunnel, Vonnegut knocks at the gates of heaven where he asks St. Peter to bring out someone for Vonnegut to interview. Sometimes St. Peter brings out a notable or celebrated person, like William Shakespeare; sometimes he brings out someone more ordinary, like the man who suffered a fatal heart attack while trying to save his pet dog's life.
Each transcript is a short philosophical essay which causes the reader to think hard about life. For a book that can be read in an hour's time, it goes a long way.

Summary: Vintage Vonnegut
Comment: Old Kurt has done it again...Further pushing back the walls of reality to make room for his outlandish yet all too believable fiction. In "God Bless You, Dr Kevorkian" Vonnegut presents written transcripts from the post-mortem interviews he's conducted with dead celebrities(both well known and obscure) through controlled near death experiences courtesy of Dr. Jack Kevorkian. It is through these fictional interviews that Vonnegut gives his take on life, death, and the human experience and ends up at his familiar refrain: Life may be meaningless--but at least it's beautiful. This is vintage Vonnegut--A gospel of the laughable irony of human existence. This book was a joy to read.

Summary: Kurt, Kurt............Signing off
Comment: Only Vonnegut can bring a new and totally different outlook on death. This is a charming small book with some great interviews as Mr vonnegut puts it. I found his conversion with Shakespare funny, as well as his talk with Hitler. (...)
It is a very different book, one I am sure you will enjoy and get a chuckle..
