This book is a collection of 15 graduation speeches and treasured wisdom from the New York Times-bestselling literary icon Kurt Vonnegut, who was also a celebrated commencement address giver.

The speeches are unfailingly insightful and witty, and they stay with audience members long after graduation.

Chosen and introduced by fellow novelist and friend Dan Wakefield, the selection includes speeches such as "What to Do When You Have the Power; In the Meantime, Remember to Skylark!" and "How to Make Money and Find Love!".

The book is ideal not just for graduates but for anyone undergoing what Vonnegut would call their "long-delayed puberty ceremony"--marking the long and challenging passage to full-time adulthood.

With a blend of absurdist humor, pessimism, and countercultural politics, these reflections are a must-read for anyone looking for insightful and witty advice on how to navigate life's challenges.

So why wait? Get your copy of "If This Isn't Nice, What Is?" today and start reading the unflinching convictions and timeless advice from one of the most in-demand commencement speakers of his time.
