God bless you, Mr. Rosewater, or, Pearls before swine - Kurt Vonnegut

God bless you, Mr. Rosewater, or, Pearls before swine - Vonnegut, Kurt

Summary: Eliot Rosewater, the head of a giant philanthropic foundation, rushes around doing absurdly good deeds for useless people. The question is, is he mad--or is everyone else?



Staff Review:
Kurt Vonnegut wrote with such skill for such a long time, touching such a wide range of topics and ideas that choosing any of his books to read will likely provide a rewarding experience (much moreso than reading and attempting to comprehend the previous sentence). The tenor and tone of his writing makes even the most difficult of subjects relatable and important to understand in context. Knowing this, I chose God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater or Pearls Before Swine simply because I feel the material deals with very relevant and pertinent ideas as they relate to the world we live in today.
