Cat’s Cradle: A Novel

“A free-wheeling vehicle . . . an unforgettable ride!”— The New York Times Cat’s Cradle is Kurt Vonnegut’s satirical commentary on modern man and his madness. An apocalyptic tale of this planet’s 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, Cat’s Cradle is one of the twentieth century’s most important works—and Vonnegut at his very best. “Vonnegut is an unimitative and inimitable social satirist.”— Harper’s Magazine “Our finest black-humorist . . . We laugh in self-defense.”— Atlantic Monthly — ASIN: 038533348X | ISBN13: 9780385333481 | ISBN-13: 978-0385333481
