Hocus Pocus
By Kurt Vonnegut
- Release Date: 1990-09-05
- Genre: Literary Fiction
Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of Slaughterhouse-Five comes an irresistible novel that combines “clever wit with keen social observation...[and] re-establishes Mr. Vonnegut’s place as the Mark Twain of our times” (Atlanta Journal & Constitution).
Here is the adventure of Eugene Debs Hartke. He’s a Vietnam veteran, a jazz pianist, a college professor, and a prognosticator of the apocalypse (and other things Earth-shattering). But that’s neither here nor there. Because at Tarkington College—where he teaches—the excrement is about to hit the air-conditioning. And it’s all Eugene’s fault.

5By spraykerThis is my Second novel of Vonnegut's, after a re-read of slaughter house. I am amazed by his ability to keep a story feeling linear as it bounces along a timeline freely. This is definitely a must read for all Vonnegut fans. "I had to laugh like hell..."
