Of all of Mr. Vonnegut's amazing and inventive books, this one, for reasons that I find difficult to express, is my favorite. Slaughterhouse 5 is a close second, of course. The childlike prose for which Mr. Vonnegut has become justly famous is as haunting and poetic as ever here. Like: Rented a tent, a tent, a tent; There you go! Now there's a deathless quote for you! Cat's Cradle is another great book by Mr. Vonnegut, and one which I think of quite often, the ideas of karass, wampeters, and granfallons having entered into my mental viewpoint of how people interact in a profound and inextinguishable manner that most authors could only dream of accomplishing. |
