Liked this one a whole lot! Read all of his "classic" novels when I was a lot younger so now reading through the rest of his books can sometimes be hit or miss, but this one is a winner! Rabo is a great, cantankerous protagonist, and as always Vonnegut is a master of blending humor and pathos together to drive his point/satire home, in this case delving into what gives creative art it's value/meaning.
