A review by imrehg
Slapstick, or Lonesome No More! by Kurt Vonnegut

4.0

I was quite a bit into this book when I realized that I must have read it once before. I'm sure I did. But it was still just as powerful, a "real Vonnegut", even if I noticed later, how long time ago he wrote this compared to all his other books I read before.

I love the way how the "point" of the book is never really where all the other books put it, but more like it is the revelations about all the little things along the way in the story. When they start to make sense, when I come back to them and what was barely significant earlier, will tell a profound story about humanity. And that is it: a story of humanity, and as such there's no real end, just things you have to sort out by yourself. Hi ho.
