I just finished reading this book and imo it was my favorite work of his, surpassing Slaughterhouse-5 and his other more well known books, why isn’t this one discussed with the greats? I thought the book was devilishly hilarious and an excellent satire, balancing the tone in a way I’ve never seen handled. If you haven’t read it, give it a try, it crams so much content in a fairly short book. Definitely instantly became one of my favorites of all time.
I always thought Cat’s Cradle was his second most famous work.
Yeah I’m confused, what is supposed to be more famous than Cat’s Cradle outside Slaughterhouse-5? Breakfast of Champions? The Sirens of Titan? What other Vonnegut books have you read, OP?
I do really love Sirens of Titan.
Might be my favorite!
It is. It’s just that Vonnegut doesn’t really get discussed a lot, though he is mentioned often.
