If this isn't nice, what is? : the graduation speeches and other words to live by
(Book)

Chiefly consists of selected graduation speeches given by Vonnegut at various educational institutions.

Selected and introduced by fellow novelist and friend Dan Wakefield, this much-expanded edition now includes a total of fifteen of Kurt Vonnegut's speeches. In each of these talks Vonnegut takes pains to find the few things worth saying and a conversational voice to say them in that isn't heavy-handed or pretentious or glib, but funny and serious and joyful even if sometimes without seeming so.
