Description

�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.
