Slapstick or Lonesome No More!: A Novel (Paperback)
"A little less love, a little more common decency." This is by his own estimation, the closest Vonnegut ever came to writing an autobiography. If this doesn't help you know and love him (and maybe yourself, too)... well, good luck.
— Sasha
Description
“Some of the best and most moving Vonnegut.”—San Francisco Chronicle
Slapstick presents an apocalyptic vision as seen through the eyes of the current King of Manhattan (and last President of the United States), a wickedly irreverent look at the all-too-possible results of today’s follies. But even the end of life-as-we-know-it is transformed by Kurt Vonnegut’s pen into hilarious farce—a final slapstick that may be the Almighty’s joke on us all.
“Both funny and sad . . . just about perfect.”—Los Angeles Times
“Imaginative and hilarious . . . a brilliant vision of our wrecked, wacked-out future.”—Hartford Courant
About the Author
Kurt Vonnegut’s black humor, satiric voice, and incomparable imagination first captured America’s attention in The Sirens of Titanin 1959 and established him as “a true artist” (The New York Times) with Cat’s Cradlein 1963. He was, as Graham Greene declared, “one of the best living American writers.” Mr. Vonnegut passed away in April 2007.
