But even the end of life-as-we-know-it is transformed by Vonnegut’s pen into hilarious farce (a final slapstick that may be the Almighty’s joke on us all.)

“Vonnegut’s ongoing puppet show…that fabulous is reborn.”—John Updike

“Both funny and sad…just about perfect!”—Los Angeles Times

“Imaginative and hilarious…a brilliant vision of our wrecked, wacked-out future.”—Hartford Courant
