Harold Bloom: Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's cradle (2002, Chelsea House) 5 stars

Review of "Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's cradle" on 'Storygraph'

5 stars

Oh my. This book left me breathless. So loosely written, easily readable, yet the descriptions are always spot on and guide the reader seamlessly through world-rocking events. I was already a big fan of mr. Vonnegut's work, but this book I surely regard to be his masterpiece. The Bokonon wisdom gave it a really nice touch, as its texts are so similar to the knows religions of the world, yet bokononism always emphasizes what "foma", what utter lies, all religious texts preach.
