About this product

Product Information

"Ranks with Vonnegut's best and goes one step beyond . . . joyous, soaring fiction."-- The Atlanta Journal and Constitution Broad humor and bitter irony collide in this fictional autobiography of Rabo Karabekian, who, at age seventy-one, wants to be left alone on his Long Island estate with the secret he has locked inside his potato barn. But then a voluptuous young widow badgers Rabo into telling his life story--and Vonnegut in turn tells us the plain, heart-hammering truth about man's careless fancy to create or destroy what he loves. Praise for Bluebeard "Vonnegut is at his edifying best." -- The Philadelphia Inquirer "The quicksilver mind of Vonnegut is at it again. . . . He displays all his talents--satire, irony, ridicule, slapstick, and even a shaggy dog story of epic proportions." -- The Cincinnati Post "[Kurt Vonnegut is] a voice you can trust to keep poking holes in the social fabric." -- San Francisco Chronicle "It has the qualities of classic Bosch and Slaughterhouse Vonnegut. . . . Bluebeard is uncommonly feisty." -- USA Today "Is Bluebeard good? Yes! . . . This is vintage Vonnegut--good wine from his best grapes." -- The Detroit News "A joyride . . . Vonnegut is more fascinated and puzzled than angered by the human stupidities and contradictions he discerns so keenly. So hop in his rumble seat. As you whiz along, what you observe may provide some new perspectives." -- Kansas City Star

  • No pirates. Just a one eyed Armenian

    The book's hero, the Armenian-American Rabo Karabekian, a failed painter with one eye, who is in his early 70's. He is divorced and his children will have nothing to do with him. Rabo became wealthy by acquiring a collection of valuable art from people he used to drink with at the Cedar Tavern in Manhattan, people such as Jackson Pollock, Arshile Gorky and Mark Rothko. What is in the potato shed at Karabekian's estate, which is always locked. Rabo Karabekian, like Billy Pilgrim of ''Slaughterhouse-Five'' and Kurt Vonnegut himself, was a prisoner of war in Germany. Bluebeard is a little sad, a little funny, but all good. willtrib - EasyCityBooks NOLA

  • Bluebeard

    Rabo Karabekian, the failed one-eyed painter whose children want nothing to do with him, gives the reader a perspective on life that Vonnegut is so good at. Worth the time, an excellent book.
