  2. Shelfari

    Shelfari edited the description of Slapstick: Or Lonesome No More! Saturday, August 1 2009.

    • Slapstick presents an apocalyptic vision 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 Vonnegut’s pen into hilarious farce (a final slapstick that may be the Almighty’s joke on us all.) “Vonnegut’s ongoing puppet show…that fabulous is reborn.”—John Updike “Both funny and sad…just about perfect!”— Los Angeles Times “Imaginative and hilarious…a brilliant vision of our wrecked, wacked-out future.”— Hartford Courant * The New York Times
