“’Anything interesting happen at work today, Honeybunch?’
‘Yes. My bomb is going to work just great. And how are you doing with that kid with chicken pox?’”

Not many people come to a Vonnegut novel expecting an orthodox or conventional set-up, and I am glad to say that this strayed well off the conventional beaten path. In a way this isn’t exactly the easiest book to review, to sum it up I would say it is like falling into a random, drunken conversation with an older guy you met in the pub, who starts a conversation along the lines of ‘We’re all doomed!’ but you can’t drag yourself away.

“That computer, wherever it is, whatever it is, while pretending to help us, may actually be trying to kill us dummies with too much to think about.”

This is a heady and surreal cocktail of autobiography, philosophy as well as political and social commentary and even some fiction thrown into the mix. The kind that had me putting in phrases like “Hitler Bunker Bingo Party” into my search engine. This is a book that is as dark as your grandfather’s attic and just as compelling.

jika racun anggrek hantu dalam dongeng raden mandasia dapat diolah menjadi bubur kertas dan berakhir sebagai buku berisi penuh tulisan, mungkin buku inilah hasilnya.

'gempa waktu' novel kurt vonnegut membuat saya terpingkal-pingkal selama tiga hari terakhir, dan sebagai puncaknya, semalam saya muntah dua kali semburan. kisah yang ia tulis adalah parodi atas kehidupan nyata yang ia jalani.

lelucon vonnegut satir dan sikapnya terhadap beberapa hal di dunia begitu sinis, tetapi dalam beberapa hal lain ia juga tampak positif, seperti ketika membicarakan pentingnya kehadiran cinta dan keluarga besar bagi manusia.

saya menyebut kegiatan membaca buku ini sebagai 'usaha bunuh diri yang bisa berhasil jika kau tak mencukupkan diri membacanya'.

(karena mengingat saya membaca buku ini hingga muntah-muntah, tampaknya 'tertawa sampai mati' bukanlah sekadar slogan).

ting-a-ling!
