Book Description Softcover. Condition: New. [Kurt Vonnegut] has never been more satirically on-target. . . . Nothing is spared.-PeopleJailbird takes us into a fractured and comic, pure Vonnegut world of high crimes and misdemeanors in government-and in the heart. This wry tale follows bumbling bureaucrat Walter F. Starbuck from Harvard to the Nixon White House to the penitentiary as Watergates least known co-conspirator. But the humor turns dark when Vonnegut shines his spotlight on the cold hearts and calculated greed of the mighty, giving a razor-sharp edge to an unforgettable portrait of power and politics in our times.Praise for Jailbird[Vonnegut] is our strongest writer . . . the most stubbornly imaginative.-John IrvingA gem . . . a mature, imaginative novel-possibly the best he has written . . . Jailbird is a guided tour de force of America. Take it!-PlayboyA profoundly humane comedy . . . Jailbird definitely mounts up on angelic wings-in its speed, in its sparkle, and in its high-flying intent.-Chicago Tribune Book WorldJoyously inventive . . . gleams with the loony magic Vonnegut alone can achieve.-CosmopolitanVonnegut is our great apocalyptic writer, the closest thing weve had to a prophet since . . . Lenny Bruce.-Chicago Sun-TimesVonnegut at his impressive best. . . . His imaginative leaps alone . . . are worth the price of admission. . . . His far-reaching metaphysical and cultural concerns . . . are ultimately serious and worth our contemplation.-The Washington Post. Seller Inventory # DADAX0385333900
