Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle (Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations)
A well written book. Enjoyed reading it.
My first Vonnegut book. Oh the pleasure of discovering him was unbearable. They don't wrote them. Like this anymore.
I remember it as enjoyable and different and part of my required reading. Vonnegut was a writer-in-residence at my college, for a while, and when I met him, he was totally not who I expected. This was one of the classics, though. I would need to re-read it. And so it goes...
A well written book. Enjoyed reading it.
Cats Cradle is a 1963 novella written by acclaimed satirist and author Kurt Vonnegut. Vonnegut, a veteran of the Second World War and researcher at General Electric, drew upon the experiences of horror, monotony, and hope to write many of his works. Cats Cradle is what he considered to be his masterpiece: a humorous, nihilistic, and depressing statement about the world and its values during the Cold War. The novella highlights the issues surrounding organized religion and the nuclear Arms Race.
