From the venerable and intelligent Kurt Vonnegut, without whom the world is simply not the same, The Sirens of Titan is everything satire can and should be. Vonnegut takes protagonist Malachi Constant apart bit by bit and, along the way, elicits every emotion from the reader: horror, empathy, elation. The way a cold and indifferent universe is infused with such laughter, whimsy, and pure fun without ever becoming cheap is vintage Vonnegut. We miss you, Kurt.
