"We are here to help each other get through this thing, whatever it is."
Dr. Mark Vonnegut, M.D.
"That was an ordinary way for a patriotic American to talk back then. It's hard to believe how sick of war we used to be. We used to boast of how small our Army and Navy were, and how little influence generals and admirals had in Washington. We used to call armaments manufacturers "Merchants of Death.
Can you imagine that?"
Kurt Vonnegut
Bluebeard

Bluebeard was amazing. The way Vonnegut balances the creative act of art with the extremely destructive act of war to paint a picture of how we live with the things that we do, and how we live with the survivors guilt that accompanies truly dark events. I really liked this book. I really liked the commentary on war and art, living and dying. I liked how personal it felt, and how vivid the story was. I love his writing style, and I highly recommend
this book to anyone.
