At times he's so redeemable and at others he is plain offensive.

Most of the time he's somewhere in the middle. It's hard to like him, but I couldn't bring myself to hate him either. That normally makes for a shallow book reflecting a shallow character , but not this time. The latter was an American christened Fred W.

Kaltenbach according to Wiki. I also looked into the Nazi propaganda machine of Herr Goebbles. I lthink this quote from Goebbles captured Campbell's elusive mediocrity and provide his moral refuge, "The essence of propaganda consists in winning people over to an idea so sincerely, so vitally, that in the end they succumb to it utterly and can never escape from it. Wirtanen, who enlists Campbell, is a particularly challenging character.

Some of his justifications of the unjustifiable in the name of patriotism reminded me of Milo Mindbender's explanations to Yossarin about how the Syndicate in "Catch" can buy for 7c and sell at 5c for a profit.

The performance of Victor Bevine was very good, too. I thought he captured the mood of the text. He drove me to get a copy of the movie starring Nick Nolte and Sheryl Lee, the latter of "Twin Peaks" fame , which I enjoyed the more for having heard the text presented so well. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this listen. It stimulated, questioned and entertained. You can't ask for more provoking that that.

Would you listen to Mother Night again? I would. This was one of the best productions I have heard on Audible. Great narrator and production. What other book might you compare Mother Night to and why? In my opinion this is where Vonnegut made his reputation as a preeminent American author. I think this is his finest work in terms of tone, plot, message and literary skill. Touching, heartbreaking and ultimately a story of duality, hope, survival and the choices that make all of us human.

A message as relevant today as the day it was written. Name the bet of American literature and I wold compare it to that text. Vonnegut has been dismissed as SF writer, but this is stunning literature.

This is even better. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Movies are not nearly as good! Any additional comments? I recommend you spend a credit on this book. Vonnegut is a great writer who has never gotten his due. This book in my opinion cements his status as a great, American writer. His personality discriptions of the inane still exist in today's public figures - politicians This book left me staring into space thinking of it long after I finished it.

Many surprises along the way too. Refer to this dark comedy for a surprisingly apt description of our current political climate.

This is not a feel-good story, but it does offer a satisfying, insightful experience.

I like Victor Bevine's voice and tone but the producers should have selected a narrator with some knowledge of the German language. Bevine reads the many single words and whole sentences written in German with such an accent that makes my stomach churn every time.

It's quite clear he doesn't know what he is reading. This spoiled the experience for me and as much as I love Vonnegut I can't forget how badly this was read. In places you could be forgiven for thinking your were listening to an episode of 'Allo 'Allo. Some people insist that Vonnegut should be read and not listened to. Perhaps this recording is the reason why.

If this was your first experience of Vonnegut please do not give up. One of the best books I have ever read.

I liked the reader, great performance. I listened to it in two days. Would have been one of I had had the time. I could have listened to it in all one go, if I had the time. Fantastic, hypnotic voicing - perfect for Vonnegut. Unforgettable story; a few unexpected turns. Also, I want to know how much it is based in fact; so I will be Googling that soon. First story I have read by Vonnegut and was very impressed I will be looking into more of his work now.

Howard W. Campbell, Jr. As an adult he is making a good living as a playwright when he is approached by a man named Frank Wirtanen who recruits him to spy for America. Wirtanen warns him that America will never admit they recruited him as a spy. Campbell becomes one of the most famous propagandists in the Nazi party, but during his broadcasts, his coughs and verbal pauses and other mannerisms send important messages to the Allies.

At the end of the war he is captured by Bernard B. O'Hare as a war criminal, but Wirtanen comes to his rescue and helps him escape to America where he is living in a run-down attic. At the beginning of the novel Campbell is about to stand trial in Israel, having been outed by a Russian spy named Kraft-Potapov.

Prior to his arrest, he is reunited with his wife Helga who he thought was dead. He is also celebrated by a collection of weird American neo-Nazis led by a crazy dentist named Lionel J. Jones, who thinks he can prove Jewish and negro inferiority using their teeth. Jones also publishes a newspaper called The White Christian Minuteman. When Campbell's address is revealed in The White Christian Minuteman, all kinds of so-called patriots come looking for him, the foremost of whom is Bernard B.
