The vertigo of history
Yet another Vonnegut that nudges at perfection. Reminiscent of Mother Night and Hocus Pocus, this is the biography of a low-ranking participant in the Watergate scandal and a punchy morality tale on the vertigo of history and the failings of American capitalism. Full of wonderful jokes and characters, this is ground the master could re-tread again and again, extending the joy available to the rest of us each time. It's a real pity that there's not a flashier version of this out in the bookstores of the world at the moment. It's worth your time and your money. It will make you glow.
