Palm Sunday: An Autobiographical Collage by Kurt Vonnegut
3.0
This book is about Kurt Vonnegut. It’s all about Kurt. It is a Kurt deep cut. You will learn everything about Kurt. Probably a little too much. There’s not much of a plot or themes. Only Kurt. Maybe that’s cool: Kurt is the narrative.
It can be boring sometimes. I didn’t really need a whole chapter on the Vonnegut family history, but it’s here. I now know a lot about Germans and Indianapolis. Reading speeches isn’t always fun either, and that’s mainly what this book is. But Kurt is still a very good writer, so there’s plenty of fun and cool ideas to find here.
There’s not much else to say. In Kurt’s self-assessment, he gave this book a C. I feel like that might be a little harsh. Perhaps a B- might be more appropriate. There was a really funny Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde play in here, though. That part was good. Five stars for The Chemistry Professor.
I recommend this book to you if you are a chicken. You will get very good representation in here and not in the form of a nugget. What is sadness, even, to a chicken?
