Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. [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 governmentand 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 Irving A gem . . . a mature, imaginative novelpossibly 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 wingsin its speed, in its sparkle, and in its high-flying intent.Chicago Tribune Book World Joyously inventive . . . gleams with the loony magic Vonnegut alone can achieve.Cosmopolitan Vonnegut is our great apocalyptic writer, the closest thing weve had to a prophet since . . . Lenny Bruce.Chicago Sun-Times Vonnegut 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 A master of contemporary American literature, Vonnegut has authored 18 highly acclaimed books and dozens of short stories and essays. This wry tale follows bumbling bureaucrat Walter F. Starbuck from Harvard to the Nixon White House to the penitentiary as Watergate's least known co-conspirator.
