<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>One of Vonnegut's most highly praised novels. Filled with humor and unforgettable characters, this apocalyptic story tells of Earth's ultimate end, and presents a vision of the future that is both darkly fantastic and funny, as Vonnegut weaves a satirical commentary on modern man and his madness.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><b>"A free-wheeling vehicle . . . an unforgettable ride!"--</b></b><i><b><b><i>The New York Times</i> <br></b></b><br>Cat's Cradle</i> is Kurt Vonnegut's satirical commentary on modern man and his madness. An apocalyptic tale of this planet's ultimate fate, it features a midget as the protagonist, a complete, original theology created by a calypso singer, and a vision of the future that is at once blackly fatalistic and hilariously funny. A book that left an indelible mark on an entire generation of readers, <i>Cat's Cradle</i> is one of the twentieth century's most important works--and Vonnegut at his very best. <p/><b>"[Vonnegut is] an unimitative and inimitable social satirist."--<i>Harper's Magazine<br> </i></b><br><b> "Our finest black-humorist . . .
