Unstuck in Time: A Journey Through Kurt Vonnegut's Life and Novels ReviewI took a liking to this book even before I opened it: the use of Vonnegut's asterisks from 'Breakfast of Champions' on the cover suggested that what I was about to read was aimed at those of us who love Vonnegut's work, and cherish his sense of humour, and humanity. I have no idea whether the author chose the cover, but whoever did deserves a word of thanks.
As an informal reference work, this book is invaluable, particularly for those of us who read his works at the time they were published, and are now turning into what Vonnegut would describe as old farts.Much as we remember the pleasure we got from the books, the details are lost between timid and Timbuctoo.
Each of Vonnegut's books gets a chapter to itself, with an overview of the plot which is detailed enough to invoke memories in those of us who have read the book, and provoke interest in those who have not (or may not have read the early, funnier ones). It also reminds us when old friends reappear in later volumes: something which I tended to miss when I first read the books, back in the day. I've never been good with names: apart from Kilgore Trout, that is. Each chapter also includes episodes of Vonnegut's life, at the time he wrote the book. The author doesn't make any outrageous claims about motivation, affects or semiotics; he just mentions what was going on at the time, and lets us draw our own conclusions.
Books, of course, illustrate the Tralfamadorean view of spacetime: everything is laid out already, and the reader just has to choose the viewpoint. This book is an excellent way for the Vonnegut afficionado to spend a few hours unstuck in time.Unstuck in Time: A Journey Through Kurt Vonnegut's Life and Novels Overview
