I've always enjoyed this short story, it's pretty fun to read.... It's a doozy! I know that some have claimed it's a bit too heavy-handed, which… Lets face it, it is. But still, it makes for an interesting read. It seems like Vonnegut was clearly upset about something specifically in life and had to write this diatribe to address it. Wonder what set him off?
