The money amounts in this book will make a lot more sense if you multiply them all by ten. Yes, there has been that much inflation since it was written. The correct number is about 8X, but it is easier to just add a zero. (  ) wunder | Feb 3, 2022 |  3.7 stars (  ) curious_squid | Apr 5, 2021 | I usually dig Vonnegut, but this one failed to click with me at all. It didn't work as a satire and it had one of the driest, boring openings I've read in recent years. I can't really think of a single character I successfully connected to in one way or another and the ending was daft (basically, everything from the bus ride onwards seemed ridiculous). But hey, the writing was pretty solid! (  ) sarahlh | Mar 6, 2021 | Hilarious. Bonus: one can read it and laugh without the horrified guilt that hangs over the reading of Mother Night because it is only about the bad stuff we do to poor people and basically nice white people are all in agreement that it's okay to live better at the expense of poor people. I would love to pull bits of this out to show you how funny it is. The scene where Eliot gives money to the poet so that the poet can tell the truth and the poet discovers he has no truth to tell. He only thought he did while he rationalised that poverty prevented him from doing so. Rest here: http://alittleteaalittlechat.wordpress.com/2014/06/30/god-bless-you-mr-rosewater...

Ist enthalten inThe sirens of Titan; Mother night; Cat's cradle; God bless you, Mr. Rosewater; Slaughterhouse-five von Kurt Vonnegut Novels & Stories, 1963-1973: Cat's Cradle / God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater / Slaughterhouse-Five / Breakfast of Champions / Stories von Kurt Vonnegut Bearbeitet/umgesetzt in
Eliot Rosewater is tortured by a fabulous inheritance he feels he does not deserve, so he devotes himself to drink, and to a life serving the dull, the ugly, the irrelevant and the useless. This is a novel about the pleasures, pains and perversions of people and money. It is the story of a millionaire's lunacy, the obsessions of a famous family and the collective madness of a nation.
