About This Novel

The master of black humor expresses tragic content in the form of comedy, and laughs in the face of disaster, absurdity, and despair. Joseph Hero, the author of "Catch-22", praised this book as: Vonnegut's best work. Jay McClenny said in the New York Times that "Spell" is the most hotly discussed novel with the most practical value. "Spell" is one of the masterpieces of the famous American postmodern writer Kurt Vonnegut. The novel unfolds in the inner loneliness of the protagonist Hartke, a Vietnam War veteran. Hartke recalled his own life and told readers about the absurdity of the Vietnam War and the tragic plight of Vietnam War veterans. This is an intellectual's criticism of the real world. In this book our lives are a fraud. The last master in the United States who dared to tell the truth was absurd on the one hand and true on the other. This is history. The spiritual idols of several generations in the world's literary world: Mo Yan, Haruki Murakami, Doris Lessing, Norman Mailer, Graham Greene... The most respected public representatives of the world's media: Time Magazine, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian, BBC... Highly praised.
