Back Cover:

"Vonnegut is at his edifying best!" -- The Philidelphia Inquirer

Kurt Vonnegut is a master of contemporary American literature. His black humor, satiric
voice, and incomparable imagination first captured America's attention in The Sirens of Titan in
1959 and established him as "a true artist" with Cat's Cradle in 1963. He is, as Graham Greene
has declared, "one of the best living American writers."
Bluebeard ranks with Vonnegut's most imaginative works. Broad humor and bitter irony
collide in this fictional autobiography of Rabo Karabekian, who, at seventy-one, wants to be left
alone at his Long Island estate with the secret he has locked inside his potato barn. But then a
voluptuous young widow badgers him into telling his life story -- and Vonnegut tells us the plain,
heart-hammering truth about man's careless fancy to create or destroy what he loves.

"Vonnegut is George Orwell, Dr. Caligari and Flash Gordon compounded into one writer. . . A
zany but moral mad scientist." -- Time
