It wasn‘t a great play when it first premiered and it didn‘t age well. Vonnegut‘s problematic misogyny and homophobia really sticks out here. A necessary read for Vonnegut completists but everyone else may skip.

Broke out my #Vonnegut pint glass. Best gift ever from @HeatherBookNerd 🩶 It‘s a beautiful evening in Tennessee, and the cicadas are calm (for now).

Read this for IRL book club and I think I was the only one who liked it! It‘s a difficult tale to summarize but it‘s about the human condition. The absurdity he envelopes it in doesn‘t hide the sadness & consequences of loneliness. I read the prologue 3x because first, Vonnegut bares his soul in his own detached way, and second, it encapsulates the story which follows.

This is my first Vonnegut and I‘m glad to have read it.

Tamra It is scathing in the sense he criticizes all of our futile attempts to fill emotional voids with consumerism and conquest. But it also appears our misguided natures carry on into the afterlife. 🫢 (edited) 13mo
TheBookHippie I‘ve found ppl love or loathe his writings. I read his earlier stuff in my younger years, I‘ve not read anything published after 1980s. 13mo
Tamra @TheBookHippie I can definitely see he would be a cilantro writer! 13mo

Ruthiella Great review! “Cilantro writer” 😂 I love him and his exasperation at human behavior, but for sure understand why some don‘t like his works. I‘m glad you liked it though. 👍 13mo
Tamra @Ruthiella which is your favorite? 13mo
Ruthiella I‘m certainly not even close to becoming a completist (yet). Bluebeard was my first and my favorites are Galapagos, Ca‘s Cradle and the most famous (edited) 13mo
Tamra @Ruthiella thanks for the tip! I really should try Slaughterhouse Five. 13mo
Leftcoastzen I adore him ! He just gets it . I couldn‘t pick a favorite. I probably should reread, see if I still agree with myself. 😄 13mo
Tamra @Leftcoastzen I‘m sometimes afraid to reread for fear of a book not holding up. 13mo
Leftcoastzen @Tamra me too! 13mo

My city is hosting its first ever bookstore crawl! Four days, 23 participating independent bookstores, and so much fun! I‘ve made it to 10 so far and have more planned for this weekend. It‘s been delightful! I‘ve been crawling with friends and my kids and even found the best pair of book earrings! 📚 Such an incredible community event.
