<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Broad humor and bitter irony collide in Vonnegut's fictional biography of aging artist Rabo Karabekian--first introduced in Breakfast of Champions--who wants only to be left alone at his Long Island estate with the secret he has locked in his potato barn. "A joyous, soaring fiction".--Atlanta Journal and Constitution.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"Ranks with Vonnegut's best and goes one step beyond . . . joyous, soaring fiction."--<i>The Atlanta Journal and Constitution</i></b> <p/>Broad humor and bitter irony collide in this fictional autobiography of Rabo Karabekian, who, at age seventy-one, wants to be left alone on his Long Island estate with the secret he has locked inside his potato barn. But then a voluptuous young widow badgers Rabo into telling his life story--and Vonnegut in turn tells us the plain, heart-hammering truth about man's careless fancy to create or destroy what he loves. <p/><b>Praise for <i>Bluebeard</i></b> <p/>"Vonnegut is at his edifying best."<b>--<i>The Philadelphia Inquirer</i></b> <p/>"The quicksilver mind of Vonnegut is at it again. . . .
