评分◎冯古内特极其善于用幽默消解、讽刺愚蠢的事,这种幽默是极其聪明的,相比于我这种不入流的写作者,他不会用明晃晃的观点刺伤你,他仿佛随意笑着扔了几颗豆子,然后豆子落地拔起入云的藤蔓,枝叉上穿满了愚蠢的心。
评分我的第一本冯内古特。没怎么看懂,有些地方有点看不下去,需要强行坚持。有些地方又觉得幽默有趣,语言很生动,是作者对科学崇拜的质疑?与人文关怀割离的科学是人类自己研发的毒药吧?

His first novel, Player Piano, was published in 1951 and was followed by The Sirens of Titan (1959), Mother Night (1961), Cat's Cradle (1963), God Bless You Mr Rosewater (1964), Welcome to the Monkey House (1968); a collection of short stories, Slaughterhouse Five (1969), Breakfast of Champions (1973), Slapstick, or Lonesome No More (1976), Jailbird (1979), Deadeye Dick (1982), Galapagos (1985), Bluebeard (1988), Hocus Pocus (1990) and Timequake (1997).

All of the true things I am about to tell you are shameless lies'. Dr Felix Hoenikker, one of the founding fathers of the atomic bomb, has left a deadly legacy to the world. For he is the inventor of Ice-nine, a lethal chemical capable of freezing the entire planet. The search for its whereabouts leads to Hoenikker's three eccentric children, to a crazed dictator in the Caribbean, to madness. Will Felix Hoenikker's death wish come true? Will his last, fatal gift to humankind bring about the end that, for all of us, is nigh? Told with deadpan humour and bitter irony, Kurt Vonnegut's cult tale of global apocalypse preys on our deepest fears of witnessing the end and, worse still, surviving it...

评分这种游戏很多人都玩过。双手的手指穿过毛线或橡皮筋,通过不同的组织方式,可以做出大桥、交叉道、手枪等各种不同的图形。我们叫“翻花绳”,大洋彼岸的人们也玩这种游戏,不过他们称之为"Cat's Cradle" - 猫的摇篮。 你可以很简单的来理解Vonnegut的这部小说:翻花绳可以...
评分通常对这部书的评论是,在科幻小说的外壳中讽刺现实。作者被归为黑色幽默一类的。《猫的摇篮》是他的代表作之一。 书名“猫的摇篮”,是一种绳圈游戏(就是小时候玩的挑花线、挑绳)里的一种样式。 小说里有几个很经典的角色。 科学家霍尼克尔:一个科研怪才,...
