Palm Sunday: An Autobiographical Collage by Kurt Vonnegut

3.0

Having now read most of Vonnegut’s novels and loved them, I certainly enjoyed Palm Sunday. That being said, I would argue that quite a lot of this book is skip-able. For instance, the long chapter describing Vonnegut’s entire family history or the long chapter which is a reworking of ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ as a play. Much of what is written in this book will not be new for any Vonnegut fan, but there are nevertheless many great quotes littered throughout. Overall I would definitely recommend this book to anyone working their way through the Vonnegut catalogue, but probably wouldn’t recommend to more casual readers or anyone unfamiliar with his most well-known novels.
