Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Broad humor and bitter irony collide in Vonnegut's fictional biography of aging artist Rabo Karabekian — first introduced in Breakfast of Champions — who wants only to be left alone at his Long Island estate with the secret he has locked in his potato barn. Review:"[T]he most intimate of Vonnegut's 13 novels....Like lost lives, Karabekian's is a constant blending of regret and hope but Vonnegut has graced it with a touching denouement that suggests that even in our own particular kingdom of the blind, a one-eyed man can be king." Publishers Weekly Review:"A joyous, soaring fiction." Atlanta Journal and Constitution Synopsis:An old man recounts his past to a voluptuous widow, revealing man's compulsion to create and destroy what he loves. About the AuthorKurt Vonnegut was a master of contemporary American literature. His black humor, satiric voice, and incomparable imagination first captured America's attention in The Sirens of Titan in 1959 and established him as "a true artist" with Cat's Cradle in 1963. He was, as Graham Greene declared, "one of the best living American writers.” Mr. Vonnegut passed away in April 2007. What Our Readers Are SayingAdd a comment for a chance to win!
