Cat’s Cradle “Cat’s Cradle deals with atomic scientists, ugly Americans, gorgeous sex queens, vengeful midgets, Caribbean dictators, undertakers, Hoosiers, a new way of making love, ice-nine, Bokononism, the end of the world…No one but Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., could have created this masterful mix of satire, fantasy and all-too-real realism. An ultimate commentary on modern man and his madness.”

Deadeye Dick “is Vonnegut’s funny, chillingly satirical look at the death of innocence. Amid a true Vonnegutian host of horrors – a double murder, a fatal dose of radioactivity, a decapitation, an annihilation of a city by a neutron bomb – Rudy Waltz, a.k.a. Deadeye Dick, takes us along on a zany search for absolution and happiness. Here is a tale of crime and punishment that makes us rethink what we believe…and who we are.”

God bless you, Mr. Rosewater “Eliot Rosewater, drunk, volunteer fireman, and President of the fabulously rich Rosewater Foundation is the hero of this darkly-humored comic masterpiece. In the stingingly irreverent story of a man filled with total love for humanity and tormented by a maddeningly sane vision of society, the author has created a wild, brilliant, etched-in-acid portrayal of the greed, hypocrisy, waste and folly of modern man.”

Hocus Pocus “At least the World will end, an event anticipated with great joy by many. It will end very soon, but not in the year 2000, which has come and gone. From that I conclude that God Almighty is not heavily into Numerology.”

Mother Night “In Mother Night Vonnegut makes fun of sex, sin, and motherhood; of war and peace, of the FBI and Communists; and the Nazis, too. And no one but Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., could have created Howard Campbell, Jr., the American who became a notorious Nazi and survived the war to mock all decent people. This atrocious man a hero? This insatiable fiend (who boasted of knowing more than 49 ways to make love) really nothing more than a happy Rotarian? It could only happen in the Silly Putty world of Mother Night where the only reality is unreality.”

Player Piano “Player Piano is based on the concerns and needs of today. It is the story of life in Ilium, New York, where people have been replaced by machines. The computer revolution has conquered man, granting him dreariness and boredom. Dr. Paul Proteus revolts against the new electronic age, and the novel takes a strange, hilarious turn toward an incredible climax.”

Slapstick “Welcome to the future and the 100th birthday party of Wilbur Daffodil-ll Swain, King of Manhattan, landlord and tenant of the vacant Empire State Building, genius idiot, pediatrician, twin, and former tallest President of the United States. See the world through his eyes – a world of mischief, piracy, lunacy, incest, plague, stunts, sadness, nervous laughter – and so on...”

Slaughterhouse-Five “Slaughterhouse-Five is one of the world’s great anti-war books. Centering on the infamous firebombing of Dresden, Billy Pilgrim’s odyssey through time reflects the mythic journey of our own fractured lives as we search for meaning in what we are afraid to know.”

The Sirens of Titan “Why should the richest, most depraved man in America blast off in his private space ship for parts unknown with the one beautiful woman capable of resisting him? What bizarre design lay behind the Martians’ strange invasion of Earth? How can Salo, shipwrecked envoy from Tralfamador, complete his vital mission? When does a novel shaped by the techniques of science fiction become a major literary breakthrough? The Sirens of Titans provides the answers – in a dazzling display of the prophetic vision and audacious artistry of Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.”

Welcome to the Monkey House “This long-awaited volume brings together the finest of Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.s, shorter works. Sex, machines, pills, men, women, society, good, evil, outer space, inner space, time past, present and future, are among the subjects infused with the fascinating, fantastic and formidable Vonnegut magic. It is a funny, sad, explosive, wildly gyrating gathering, a mind-boggling grab-bag in which every selection is a winner.”
