I never met one bit of Vonnegut writing that I did not admire.

Having read a lot, some of the surprise factor related to Vonnegut’s core world view and message relentlessly conveyed wanes. Yet that very same deeply humanistic perspective, a world view built lovingly from the lowest depths of human depravity as witnessed by the author in oerson, only gains power as it gains familiarity.


A novel that is advertised as SF is so easily dismissable. I would argue against that bias, especially regarding Vonnegut’s masterpieces.
