IT"S VONNEGUT - what's not to like?? of course it's funny. of course it's also simultaneously deep. that's always a winning combo in my book.

granted i'm partial to the subject matter here- abstract expressionism and new york as the backdrop for a fake memoir? YES. in the end bluebeard is about love, loss, finding your artistic voice and passion... all things that flutter around the recesses of my brain on basically a daily basis. and real or not, the rise, fall, and development of rabo as an artist/human is definitely worth a look.
