    About Slapstick or Lonesome No More!

    “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
