Cat's Cradle Chapter 48 Summary

Just Like Saint Augustine

• And deeper into the book we go.
• Bokonon was originally a man named Lionel Boyd Johnson. He is the youngest of six children in a family who made their fortune by reinvesting a lost treasure of Blackbeard.
• No, seriously, that's the start of this guy's history.
• Like Saint Augustine, he spent his youth enjoying the ladies and the drink.
• Oh, he wrote a Calypso about that too.
