Book description
'After you have read one of Kurt Vonnegut's gleefully pessimistic
novels, his words go on colouring your world for a long time
afterwards... not to read him would be to miss out on lessons that
need to be learned about the age we live in' Sunday Times
'It is all done with voice. Vonnegut is a master of the
first-person, manic-depressive stand-up' Observer
'Although it is set in the near future, Hocus Pocus is the
most topical, realistic Vonnegut novel to date, and shows the struggle
of an artist a little impatient with allegory and more than a little
impatient with his own country' New York Times Book Review
