Publisher's Summary
American Howard W. Campbell, Jr., a spy during World War II, is now
on trial in Israel as a Nazi war criminal. But is he really guilty?
In this brilliant book rife with true gallows humor, Kurt Vonnegut turns
black and white into a chilling shade of grey with a verdict that will
haunt us all. Mother Night is a daring challenge to our moral sense.
Critical Praise
"Vonnegut's story of Howard Campbell, a Nazi propagandist being tried
in Israel as a war criminal after WWII, picks up extra meaning with
Victor Bevine's flat tones. These are contrasted with the strong emotions
and accents of the novel's other characters, a narrative technique that
dramatizes the central issue of Vonnegut's story: what is real?....Author
and narrator give us a powerful story, and much to consider." (AudioFile)-

Hey, and who can argue with MOTHER NIGHT turning out to be the all-time
favourite novel of both the BAU's Agent Derek Morgan and Agent Emily
Prentiss when they first met in the TV series "Criminal Minds"?
