An American genius. That's all you need to know.
An enjoyable book if you like Vonnegut. His usual social commentary. God Bless you Mr. Rosewater focuses on who we help and how we judge others.The premise:Mr. Rosewater is a man with about 80 million dollars, he uses mostly to help the people of his town. He pays their car payments, gives them money for whatever they ask. The townsfolk don't all love him, many resent his help. Meanwhile his family thinks he's crazy for helping regular people like this, and they are fighting to get control of the money so they can do "bigger and more important" things with it.
One paragraph from a Kilgore Trout book, read on the bus to Indianapolis is as true of cell phones, today, as telepathy in the book."The reason creatures wanted to use language instead of mental telepathy was that they found out they could get so much more done with language. Language made them so much more active. Mental telepathy, with everybody constantly telling everybody everything, produced a sort of generalized indifference to all information. But language, with its slow, narrow meanings, made it possible to think about one thing at a time—to start thinking in terms of projects."
Not as engaging and inventive as Slaughterhouse-Five and Cat's Cradle, but worth the read for the Vonnegut lover. This book occasionally takes too long to make its point and requires investment on the part of the reader, but Vonnegut's classic satirical humor is still present. I myself slogged through for these acid-laced insights. I recommend starting with one of the titles mentioned here first and then continuing to explore Vonnegut through novels like this one, as well as his short stories.
Well, Kurt is not really forgotten, but any and all of his books are worth a read today. In one paragraph in this book he pretty much nails why and how western civilization is consuming itself. Hint: has something to do with greed. If you are new to Vonnegut, this is not the first or second book I would read. I'd give five stars to Sirens of Titan, Cat's Cradle, Slaughterhouse Five. Wonderful irony in all his books. A unique writing style and lots of disguised wisdom. Most of all, very funny and highly entertaining.
I love Vonnegut. I've studied him and his work and read all his novels. THis has such good things to say about the dichotomy between rich and poor, about social justice, about the value of humanity. i think it's an important book to read about important issues. and it has interesting characters. it was written in 1965 but it is still relevant today. i think it's scary and disheartening how relevant it still is today. vonnegut compares himself to a canary in a coal mine singing about the dangers in society, but he was afraid he was not doing enough good.
I have been a Kurt Vonnegut reader since, well, as long as I can remember. In God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater, Vonnegut references numerous other characters he has invented throughout his career. Rosewater, the title character, is a benevolent man with the Rosewater Foundation at his disposal. With Democratic and Socialist leanings, he disperses his family's money to practically anybody who asks much to the chagrin of his father, The Senator.
I'm probably too biased when it comes to Vonnegut to write a reliable review. Actually, I think Hocus Pocus was probably my favorite and it doesn't even usually make the list as far as he's concerned. Still, this was a very, very entertaining story. With Kurt, it often seems like the journey is much more important than the destination, and I felt like the finish was a bit abbreviated, but the trip justified itself. You even get a nice little fix of Kilgore Trout in there.
Kurt Vonnegut was a great social critic and he wrote in such a way as to make it readable and tolerable. This particular novel is a favorite of his fans and reflects his feelings that are shared by them. Of the characters the reader must decide who is crazy and who is not. I have been a sucker for Vonnegut since the sixties and I revisit them every so often. Vonnegut was also associated with the phrase "and so it goes." I fought many battles to change things but now, at my age, it is time to say "and so it goes." God Bless you, Mr. Rosewater is certainly an important part of the Kurt Vonnegut puzzle.
