Kurt Vonnegut Jr. is Aug 2011. If you enjoy this novel, it is available for buy as a paperback from Barnes & Noble or Indigo, as an ebook on the Amazon Kindle store, or as an audiobook on Audible.
Science fiction author Kilgore Trout predicts that on February 13, 2001, New York City would experience a worldwide timequake. This is the moment when the cosmos experiences a moral crisis. Does it need to explode or should it expand? It chooses to go back ten years, to 1991, causing everyone on the planet to experience a decade of déjà vu and complete loss of free will, in addition to the agony of having to relive every last second of one of the most tasteless and meaningless decades.
Vonnegut tackles memory, suicide, the Great Depression, the decline of American eloquence, and the antiquated joy of reading books with his signature wicked humour.
