Book Review: !!!JUBILATA!!!
Summary: 3 Stars
although his biting pessimism may not be as trollish as it once was, no longer as acerbic and scraping, nevertheless depite having witnessed 82 encroachments of frost and 82 retreats of sargeant cold into the embrace of spring, kurt vonnegut still attacks the antartican compassionateless bogs of the bush administration with sharp claw. he blames us for invading iraq for hideo-malicious reasons (the gratification of our gremlin-addiction to oil) and thus drowning the moral fabric of our nation in rats and feces. his is a dark wit, one that sees sharks and boars in omnia, who looks on the face of man and rather than see michelangelo's fabulous david, he instead sees the rage-whirl of picasso's angst. i sometimes believe his bleak snake-pessimism is too outside convention to be accurate, too dim, too much bunk, too much bison but others might find him a flash-joy and illuminating.
author of Lorelei Pursued and Wrestles with God
