description: Broad humor &amp; bitter irony collide in this fictional autobiography of Rabo Karabekian, who, at age 71, wants to be left alone on his Long Island estate with the secret he has locked inside his potato barn. But then a voluptuous young widow badgers Rabo into telling his life story--&amp; Vonnegut in turn tells us the plain, heart-hammering truth about humankind's careless fancy to create or destroy what he loves.
