Gods rijkste zegen, Mr Rosewater

The novel satirizes the American obsession with riches and charity. I wonder what personal or societal influences shaped this focus.

The blend of humor and sincerity made me question whether the novel celebrates kindness or critiques its superficiality. What was others' take on this balance?

Vonnegut's use of humor and absurdity adds layers to the story, but I wonder if it also makes the critique more accessible or more ambiguous.
