Amazon.com description: Product Description: Only Vonnegut could make death, and our aversion to it, a comic adventure. Here he skips back and forth between life and the afterlife as if the difference between them were slight. In thirty-some "interviews" - with Isaac Newton, Clarence Darrow, Eugene Debs, John Brown, Adolf Hitler, William Shakespeare and, among others, a nonentity who died while rescuing his schnauzer from a pit bull - Vonnegut trips down "the blue tunnel to the pearly gates" in the guise of a roving reporter for public radio. All the qualities that make Vonnegut an inimitable voice - his irreverence, humor, love of humanity, and power to make readers stop and think - permeate this book of vignettes.
