About the Author

"Wise, reasonably humane, very funny.... I'm suddenly very hopeful
about my country again, knowing that a brilliant and honest young
citizen like Mr. Kunen is coming along." --Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
"An elegant literary stylist, always seeing himself as though
through an ironic eye on the ceiling above the scene of action, in
command of an affecting wistfulness that makes him seem a sort of
politicized Dustin Hoffman.... Moving, troubling, assertive, and
eloquent." --John Leonard, The New York Times
"Kunen might be described as a young, soft-core radical--a kind of
New Left Charlie Brown.... You're a good man, James Simon Kunen,
and worth listening to." --William Bradee, Book Week
"Like Yossarian, Kunen is acutely sensitive to the inconsistencies
and absurdities that mark this world, and he writes with a shrewd
sense of irony about it--and himself." --Robert A. Gross, Newsweek
