I love this book because it offers so much - it's a buffet of essays, artistic sketches and short stories by a writer who managed to stay relevant and fresh into his late 80's. Some may be skeptical of the quality of work because the book was collected and published posthumously, but there's no need to fear that this is just another paycheck for the publisher. Most of the contents stand up with the rest of Vonnegut's work, which is to say, he paints pictures here with words of a humorous, horrible world, that is equal parts tragedy and irony. The book opens with an piece by Vonnegut's son, and it's interesting to hear from someone so close to a literary giant talk about his father's processes, troubles, and idiosynchracies as a writer, husband, and father. Of the collected tales within, the time traveling tale Great Day, and the self titled devil hunting Armageddon are probably my least favorite, with Spoils, Guns Before Butter and Happy Birthday topping my list. Perhaps the best piece, aside from the introduction is "At Clowes Hall" an adress that Voneggut would have delivered had he not passed away. The speech was delivered by his son, and probably would have made a better end to the title, (rather than the awkward Armageddon) because it channels Kurt Vonnegut's voice so well. You can practically hear his voice when reading the lines, and the final sentence would have much more weight placed at the back of the book... "and I thank you for your attention, and I'm out of here."
