At Millennium's End by Kevin Alexander Boon

At Millennium's End looks back over the body of Kurt Vonnegut's writing, examining the novels, essays, and short stories of one of the century's most beloved and widely read authors and social critics. It also looks forward, projecting Vonnegut's relevance to the next millennium. The essays, by noted Vonnegut scholars and personal friends, are each written from the perspective of someone familiar with Vonnegut's entire canon.

"Kevin Boon's At Millennium's End is a splendid collection of original essays about one of our most singular and enduring writersThe book includes a variety of new voices in Vonnegut criticism along with the most respected scholars in this area, including Jerry Klinkowitz, Donald Morse, Larry Broer, and Loree Rackstraw. Together they offer a unique perspective that makes this collection one of the best books on Vonnegut to appear in years." — Leonard Mustazza, author of Forever Pursuing Genesis: The Myth of Eden in the Novels of Kurt Vonnegut

"This is a very important book in the area of Vonnegut studies. Vonnegut's long career corresponds almost exactly with the last half century, making this an appropriate point for evaluation. Besides consideration of the work of this one writer, the book addresses wider issues such as making fiction into film, narratology, and the nature of postmodernism." — Peter Reed, coeditor of The Vonnegut Chronicles: Interviews and Essays
