By Kurt Vonnegut

Categories: Literature & Fiction, Politics & Social Sciences

This 1974 volume, Kurt Vonnegut's first collection of nonfiction, gathers essays, reviews, speeches and an interview from the 1960s and early 1970s. Its title borrows three invented words from his novel Cat's Cradle. The pieces range from a report on the 1972 Republican National Convention and an account of Biafra in the last days of the Nigerian civil war to an essay on the Apollo moon program, a commencement address at Bennington College and his 1973 Playboy interview.
