 There may be greater noevelists than Vonnegut, but there can be a few, if any, with as much good humour and generorisy. His long-standing affection for his fellow science-fiction writers, a clan still beyond the pale of polite society - 'I love you crazy sons of bitches,' he told them in 'God Bless You, Mr Rosewater' - now extends to the whole human race, whose members also sit well below the salt but, in Vonnegut's eyes, display the same innocence, feckless enthusiasms and general tendency to trip over the furniture.
"Broad humor and bitter irony collide in this fictional autobiography of Rabo Karabekian, who, at age seventy-one, wants to be left alone on his Long Island estate with the secret he has locked inside his potato barn. But then a voluptuous young widow badgers Rabo into telling his life story--and Vonnegut in turn tells us the plain, heart-hammering truth about man's careless fancy to create or destroy what he loves"--Cover.

I didn't know what to expect from a Vonnegut novel, and I didn't expect I would like it much from things I have heard about his other stories. Surprise, surprise! I enjoyed this very much. The characters were all quite interesting and the way they were introduced was like nibbling at a fine cheese, then wanting more. I think I learned more about the motives and reasons for Abstract Expressionism than I have ever learned from reading Art History books. Intriguing.
I did NOT expect a happy ending, not even sure it feels right, however, I am thankful for it because dreary books make me feel weary. Life is too dreary at the moment to read dreary fiction. (
