Vonnegut's tale of family greed and compassion in a rural Indiana community can certainly be read as a screed against wealth. I'd like to suggest that we can also read God Bless You Mr. Rosewater through Vonnegut's lens of finding fault with nearly every human character he encountered -- AND finding a spark of humanity in those same characters as well. Give my review a listen -- or better yet, read the book -- and let me know what YOU think!
