What are some of your thoughts on Kurt Vonnegut's Mother Night?

By Cosmos-Heron

I’ve been pretty obsessed with Vonnegut for the last few months, and I swear every time I think I’ve seen all I can from him, I finish another book and I’m still impressed. Mother Night was definitely darker than some of the others I’ve read, and I really liked (and also couldn’t stop feeling weird about) how he talks about war and morality through a Nazi’s voice. I told a couple friends to read it and they just didn’t get into it at all—they said it felt offensive and kind of pathetic that you’re supposed to have any sympathy for Nazis. Curious what everyone else thinks of the novel.
