Timequake Paperback - 1998
by Kurt Vonnegut
Kurt Vonnegut's first full-length work in seven years--now in trade paperback! There's been a timequake. And everyone must relive the decade between February 17, 1991 and February 17, 2001. The trick is, everything has to be done "exactly" as it was the first time. Why? You'll have to ask the old science fiction writer, Kilgore Trout. This was all his idea.

Media reviews
"This is the indispensible Vonnegut."
San Francisco Chronicle
"Wry and trenchant . . . highly entertaining."
The New York Times Book Review
"His funniest book since Breakfast of Champions . . . There are nuggets of Vonnegutian wisdom throughout."
Newsweek
"Timequake is a novel by, and starring, Kurt Vonnegut . . . What Vonnegut does, which no one can do better, is give a big postmodern shrug . . . You've got to love him."
The Washington Post Book World
"Humorous, sardonic . . . Timequake makes for irresistible reading that's loaded with more important truths than it lets on . . . Moralizing has never been funnier."
Chicago Sun-Times
"Vonnegut is at his best."
