I love Vonnegut.
Like all of Vonnegut's books that touch upon religion, free thinking, and the senseless act of war, at the end of the day, he speaks of the common bond that keeps us going -- LOVE. Alternatively, the lack of love provides no hope for the future.
This book made me a sad, but it's truthfulness at its very core is what makes me love Vonnegut's style. It can be said that Mother Night is the classic love story in the sense that he describes soulmates to be a "nation of two", where a couple's life purpose and meaning only includes the two lovers.
I can say that I have witnessed such purported nations of two in this world, but such nations are like needles in haystacks.
