A free-wheeling vehicle . . . an unforgettable ride!-The New York TimesCats Cradle is Kurt Vonneguts satirical commentary on modern man and his madness. An apocalyptic tale of this planets 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, Cats Cradle is one of the twentieth centurys most important works-and Vonnegut at his very best.[Vonnegut is] an unimitative and inimitable social satirist.-Harpers MagazineOur finest black-humorist . . . We laugh in self-defense.-Atlantic Monthly
