KNJIGA:
Kurt Vonegat - Kolevka za macu
























Kroz satiričku i parodijsku prizmu prelamaju se u romanu Premeštanje uzice (kod nas pogrešno preveden kao Kolevka za macu) ne samo nauka i religija, nego i mnoge ostale kategorije na kojima počiva savremeni svet: seks, mediji, politika. Žanrovsko pokriće u ovom višeslojnom delu, čiji je osnovni ton istovremeno vedar i apokaliptičan, jeste pogubni „led devet“, čija je tačka topljenja znatno viša nego kod običnog leda i koji će u finalu romana dovesti do sasvim primerenog kraja sveta.

Cat's Cradle is the fourth novel by American writer Kurt Vonnegut, first published in 1963. It explores issues of science, technology, and religion, satirizing the arms race and many other targets along the way. After turning down his original thesis, in 1971 the University of Chicago awarded Vonnegut his Master's degree in anthropology for Cat's Cradle. The title of the book derives from the string game "cat's cradle." Early in the book we learn that Felix Hoenikker (a fictional co-inventor of the atom bomb) was playing cat's cradle when the bomb was dropped, and the game is later referenced by his son, Newton Hoenikker.
