About this product

Product Information

A New York Times Notable Book from the acclaimed author of Slaughterhouse-Five, Breakfast of Champions, and Cat's Cradle. At 2-27pm on February 13th of the year 2001, the Universe suffered a crisis in self-confidence. Should it go on expanding indefinitely? What was the point? There's been a timequake. And everyone-even you-must live the decade between February 17, 1991 and February 17, 2001 over again. The trick is that we all have to do exactly the same things as we did the first time-minute by minute, hour by hour, year by year, betting on the wrong horse again, marrying the wrong person again. Why? You'll have to ask the old science fiction writer, Kilgore Trout. This was all his idea.

  • A Funny, Quirky, Quasi-Autobiographical Meditation

    Kurt Vonnegut's novel "Timequake" is part commonplace novel, part fragmented autobiography- Vonnegut makes numerous appearances throughout the narrative as a character, part disfunctional romance, adding up to an odd meditation on our planet's determination to destroy itself. In the year 2001, "a sudden glitch in the space-time continuum, made everybody and everything do exactly what they'd been doing during the past decade...a second time" until "free will kicked in again" after the echo decade had torturously re-run itself. Essentially, Vonnegut uses the story arc as an excuse to rummage through his own past and that of his alter-ego, the science fiction writer Kilgore Trout. The novel, as quasi-autobiography, becomes a free-form platform upon which the author lovingly salutes and ...
