Organizer’s description
Details WOOOO WE FINALLY GOT THROUGH ALL OF HIS BOOKS!!! His final work is one Vonnegut describes as a stew representing the novel he tried and struggled to finish for many years. Sound familiar? Timequake Quote: “Many people need desperately to receive this message: 'I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.” Description ''All Vonnegut men,'' Vonnegut's aunt tells us, ''are scared to death of women.'' The book returns, painfully, relentlessly, to Vonnegut's mother, who committed suicide and who, by his account, was preoccupied with class and money. Her obsession must be terrifying for a highly successful writer who has for years been quoting his own hero, Eugene Debs: ''While there is a lower class, I am in it.'' He quotes his son, Mark, who survived a crackup and is now a pediatrician: ''We are here to help each other get through this thing, whatever it is.'' - NYT Book Review
