Maybe it is because i just read The Kindly Ones and a bunch of Svetlana Alexievich but this Vonnegut seems almost criminally timid. I am not sure what to make of the main character. Good or bad who really cares when the situation is so contrived or particular that it has no resonance. I really must of missed something. ( )
Al parecer, Madre noche es la única novela de Kurt Vonnegut sin ningún componente de ciencia ficción, algo que importa bastante poco porque el resultado es magnífico. Las tramas que se van presentando están perfectamente hilvanadas y mediante un buen forro de flashbacks, entretejidos cada pocos capítulos, se va revelando información al lector, que no tiene posibilidad alguna de escapar de la narración a medida que la historia va tomando forma. Relatos bélicos y cuentos de espías, nazis alemanes y nazis americanos, humor negro y personajes absurdos, paranoia y guerra fría. Un libro que está además bordado con un montón de frases redondas, esas que te parecen increíbles por la sencillez de su redacción y lo atinado del juicio que expresan, pero que lamentas que no se te hayan ocurrido a ti.

Breathes there the man, with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, "This is my own, my native land!" Whose heart hath ne'er within him burn'd As home his footsteps he hath turn'd From wandering on a foreign strand? - Sir Walter Scott

We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful what we pretend to be.
Where's evil? It's that large part of every man that wants to hate without limit, that wants to hate with God on its side.
Campbell was a writer as well as a person accused of extremely serious crimes, a one-time playwright of moderate reputation. To say that he was a writer is to say that the demands of art alone were enough to make him lie, and to lie without seeing any harm in it. To say that he was a playwright is to offer an even harsher warning to the reader, for no one is a better liar than a man who has warped lives and passions onto something as grotesquely artificial as a stage.
I had hoped, as a broadcaster, to be merely ludicrous, but this is a hard world to be ludicrous in, with so many human beings so reluctant to laugh, so incapable of thought, so eager to believe and snarl and hate. So many people wanted to believe me!
Say what you will about the sweet miracle of unquestioning faith, I consider a capacity for it terrifying and absolutely vile.
