这还不够好吗?(甚至更多):励志演讲及其他箴言,Expanded 第三版

Kurt Vonnegut | 2024 | ISBN: 1609806107 | English | 156 pages | ePUB | 6 MB

A collection of 15 graduation speeches and treasured wisdom from the New York Times–bestselling literary icon and author of Slaughterhouse-Five, Cat’s Cradle, and Breakfast of Champions

"Like[that of] his literary ancestor Mark Twain, Kurt Vonnegut's crankiness is good-humored and sharp-witted."—A.O. Scott, The New York Times Book Review

Master storyteller and satirist Kurt Vonnegut was one of the most in-demand commencement speakers of his time. His words were unfailingly insightful and witty, and they stayed with audience members long after graduation. Chosen and introduced by fellow novelist and friend Dan Wakefield, a selection of speeches and essays in this expanded 3rd edition include:

• “What to Do When You Have the Power; In the Meantime, Remember to Skylark!” • “Why Social Justice Does More Than Art to Nourish the American Dream” • “How to Make Money and Find Love!” • “Somebody Should’ve Told Me Not to Join a Fraternity” • “How to Have Something Most Billionaires Don’t”

Hilarious, razor-sharp, freewheeling, and at times deeply serious, these reflections are 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.


纽约时报畅销书作家、《萨勒曼库夫》、《钵中猫》和《冠军早餐》的作者康拉德·伏尼康特的15篇毕业演讲集以及他珍贵的人生智慧。 “像他的文学先辈马克·吐温一样,康拉德·伏尼康特先生的幽默感十足且机智。”——纽约时报书评版A.O. 科特 著名讲故事人和讽刺作家康拉德·伏尼康特是当时最热门的毕业演讲者之一。他的言论总是睿智而又妙语连珠,即便是在毕业之后,这些话语也仍然会令听讲者铭记于心。由同为小说家且与他交好的丹·瓦克菲尔德所选择并介绍的一篇精选集收录了: •“当你拥有权力时应该做什么;与此同时别忘了放声高歌!” • “为什么正义比艺术对实现美国梦的作用更大。” • “如何赚钱和找到爱情!” • “有人早该告诉我不要加入兄弟会了。” • “怎样才能拥有最亿万富豪都没有的东西。” 充满幽默感、锋利且不受束缚,时而也严肃深刻。这些反思不仅适合毕业生,而且对于任何正经历“康拉德·伏尼康特先生所称的‘长期延迟的青春期仪式’”的人来说都是理想的——这个过程标志着走向成熟生活漫长而艰难的旅程。
