Armageddon in retrospect, and other new and unpublished writings on war and peace [sound recording] / Kurt Vonnegut. by Vonnegut, Kurt. Penguin Audio, p2008.

Contents:  Letter from PFC Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., to his family, May 29, 1945 -- Kurt Vonnegut at Clowes Hall, Indianapolis, April 27, 2007 -- Wailing shall be in all streets -- Great day -- Guns before butter -- Happy birthday, 1951 -- Brighten up -- Unicorn trap -- Unknown soldier -- Spoils -- Just you and me, Sammy -- Commandant's desk -- Armageddon in retrospect. Performers:  Read by Rip Torn ; introduction read by the author. Summary:  Armageddon in Retrospect is a collection of twelve new writings on war and peace. Imbued with Vonnegut's trademark rueful humor, the pieces range from a visceral nonfiction recollection of the destruction of Dresden during World War II--an essay that is as timely today as it was then--to a painfully funny short story about three Army privates and their fantasies of the perfect first meal upon returning home from war, to a darker, more poignant story about the impossibility of shielding our children from the temptations of violence. Also included are Vonnegut's last speech as well as an assortment of his artwork, and an introduction by the author's son, Mark Vonnegut. Armageddon in Retrospect says as much about the times in which we live as it does about the genius of the writer. Genre:  Adult books on CD. Other authors:  Torn, Rip, 1931- Penguin Audiobooks.
