We Are What We Pretend to Be - by Kurt Vonnegut (Paperback)

Kurt Vonnegut's first and last works come together for the first time in print, in a collection aptly titled after his famous phrase, We Are What We Pretend To Be.

Basic Training is a bitter, profoundly disenchanted story that satirizes the military, authoritarianism, gender relationships, parenthood, and most of the assumed mid-century myths of the family.

If God Were Alive Today, this last work is a brutal satire on societal ignorance and carefree denial of the world's major problems.

Protagonist Gil Berman is a middle-aged college lecturer and self-declared stand-up comedian who enjoys cracking jokes in front of a college audience while societal dependence on fossil fuels has led to the apocalypse.

This collection includes Vonnegut's daughter, Nanette's reminiscences about her father and commentary on these two works.

Trust no one, trust nothing; and the only constants are absurdity and resignation, which themselves cannot protect us from the void but might divert.
