Description:
"A free-wheeling vehicle . . . an unforgettable ride!"- The New York Times
Cat's Cradle is Kurt Vonnegut's satirical commentary on modern man and his madness. An apocalyptic tale of this planet's ultimate fate, it features a midget 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. A book that left an indelible mark on an entire generation of readers, Cat's Cradle is one of the twentieth century's most important works-and Vonnegut at his very best.
"[Vonnegut is] an unimitative and inimitable social satirist."-Harper's Magazine
"Our finest black-humorist . . . We laugh in self-defense."-Atlantic Monthly
Category:Fiction, Literature, Science Fiction & Fantasy, American Fiction, Fiction Subjects, Literary Fiction, 20th Century American Fiction, Alternate Realities - Fiction, Humorous Fiction, 20th Century American Fiction - 1945-2000, End of the World & Post-Apocalyptic Science Fiction, Satire
