by **Kurt Vonnegut** (Author)

**"The master at his quirky, provocative best."--_Cosmopolitan_**

_Deadeye Dick_ 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.

**Praise for _Deadeye Dick_**

"A moving fable . . . Vonnegut, sweet cynic and ugly duckling, continues to write gentle swan songs for our uncivil society."**\--_Playboy_**

"A brilliantly unconventional novel . . . a must for all Vonnegut fans."**_\--Worcester Sunday Telegram_**

"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."**\--_USA Today_**

"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."**\--_Kansas City Star_**

"Playful and imaginative . . . On finishing the novel, the kitchen of your mind is a cleaner and more well-lighted place than it was before."**\--_Houston Chronicle_**

"Endearing and enchanting . . . a wise and charming book . . . very full of life."**\--_Glamour_**

### Author Biography

**Kurt Vonnegut**'s humor, satiric voice, and incomparable imagination first captured America's attention in _The Sirens of Titan_ in 1959 and established him as "a true artist" (_The New York Times_) with _Cat's Cradle_ in 1963. He was, as Graham Greene declared, "one of the best living American writers." Mr. Vonnegut passed away in April 2007.
