Descriptions du produit

From Library Journal

Vonnegut rounds up several familiar themes and character types for his 13th novel: genocide, the surreality of the modern world, fluid interplay of the past and present, and the less-than-heroic figure taking center stage to tell his story. Here he elevates to narrator a minor character from Breakfast of Champions , wounded World War II veteran and abstract painter Rabo Karabekian. At the urging of enchantress-as-bully Circe Berman, Karabekian writes his "hoax autobiography." Vonnegut uses the tale to satirize art movements and the art-as-investment mind-set and to explore the shifting shape of reality. Although not among his best novels, Bluebeard is a good one and features liberal doses of his off-balance humor. Recommended. A.J. Wright, Univ. of Alabama at Birmingham

Ingram

Broad humor and bitter irony collide in Vonnegut's fictional biography of aging artist Rabo Karabekian--first introduced in Breakfast of Champions--who wants only to be left alone at his Long Island estate with the secret he has locked in his potato barn. "A joyous, soaring fiction."--Atlanta Journal and Constitution. Reissue.

5.0étoiles sur 5 nobody could paint uniforms like Dan Gregory........, Avril 13 2004
This review is from: Bluebeard: A Novel (Paperback)
The story of Rabo Karabekian a painter,father a man caught in his past. Vonnegut's writing about one of his characters in Rabo whom as been in other of his works.
Now get this "Blubeard" is Rabo Karabekians autobiography how genius is that. The book has a great easy flow. Typical Vonnegut work. Rabo is telling about of course his life with the help a new friend Circe Berman, whom the book is get this dedicated to..haaaa
Rabo is a medicore painter,who had to find himself. The book changes quickly from the the past to the present, but it is done so remarkably well that you wont even notice.
I felt that the book was about a man lost on his on canvas and the picture of his life he is painting as his writes his memories.I hope that my review does justice to the book. I will remember this line," ..That the human condition can be summed up in just one word, and this is the word:Embarrassment." IT's True,IT's True.....

5.0étoiles sur 5 One of Vonnegut's Most Hearfelt Works, Fév 17 2004
This review is from: Bluebeard: A Novel (Paperback)
I'm a huge Vonnegut fan. He is one of the strongest influences on my own writing. However, while I usually find his stories full of real characters who are in unreal situations (Time Quake, Galapagos, etc.) Bluebeard is full of real characters in a very real setting. It is a character story through and through, and is refreshingly Earth-bound. If you like Vonnegut but dislike his tendencies towards sci-fi, you'll love this book. If you love the sci-fi edge, well... you'll probably still like this book.

In the 5 or 6 Vonnegut books I've read so far, I've yet to be disappointed, and Bluebeard is certainly no exception. It is, however, one of his less fantastic tales. Read more
