Bookseller recommendation

“Half of my PhD research was on Vonnegut's short stories, but this is the very first Vonnegut I read. For anyone looking for a place to start, this is choice. Here you will encounter his spare style, stacked in short sections that close like jokes, and his tendency to ask great big questions. Here the great big question ties unbridled scientific discovery with people's tendency (or need?) to spin religion in the face of life and death. ”

Summary
About the author
About the narrator

Cat's Cradle is Vonnegut's satirical commentary on modern man and his madness. An apocalyptic tale of this planet's ultimate fate, it features a little person as the protagonist; a complete, original theology created by a calypso singer; and a vision of the future that is at once blackly fatalistic and hilariously funny.

Kurt Vonnegut was a master of contemporary American Literature. His black humor, satiric voice, and incomparable imagination first captured America's attention in The Siren's of Titan in 1959 and established him as ""a true artist"" with Cat's Cradle in 1963. He was, as Graham Greene has declared, ""one of the best living American writers.""

Tony Roberts is a familiar face from his appearances in numerous Woody Allen and other films, and his starring roles on Broadway in Arsenic and Old Lace, Promises, Promises, The Allergist's Wife, and Xanadu.
