I have recently finished Bluebeard which ranged over many disconnected
themes interspersed with his humorous insights. Mainly art appreciation
with the protagonist's skill at drawing images, (and that of his
illustrator mentor), as good as photographs contrasted with conventional
standards with the major difference being passion. He wanted to be an
artist and became an early famous Abstract Expressionist with the
implication that that style involved no talent. Also an anti-war horror
of death and a sort of resurrection for the Armenian immigrant family
with son, Rabo, achieving the mythical American Dream but also extreme
loneliness.
The original Bluebeard hid a great crime with the message to his current
wife that the combination of disobedience and curiosity results in
regret but in Rabo's case, his crime may have been hiding his soul in
the pigbarn but the curiosity of Mrs Berman......
It is decades since Vonnegut was a favourite but the light and
conversational style was instantly recognisable. The constant humour was
occasionally an interruption. I still enjoyed it. Three Stars.
