Kurt Vonnegut is a master of contemporary American
literature. His black humor, satiric voice, and
incomparable imagination first captured America’s
attention in The Sirens of Titan in 1959 and
established him as a “true artist”* with Cat’s
Cradle in 1963. He is, as Graham Greene has
declared, “one of the best living American
writers.”
Mother Night is a daring challenge
to our moral sense. American Howard W. Campbell, Jr., a
spy during World War II, is now on trial in Israel as a
Nazi war criminal. But is he really guilty? In this
brilliant book rife with true gallows humor, Vonnegut
turns black and white into a chilling shade of gray with a
verdict that will haunt us all.

Times
“A great artist.”–The Cincinnati
Enquirer
“Vonnegut is George Orwell, Dr.
Caligari and Flash Gordon compounded into one writer…a
zany but moral mad scientist.”–Time
