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.

"The Mark Twain of our times". -- Atlanta Journal & Constitution

"He is a satirist with a heart, a moralist with a whoopee cushion". -- Jay McInerney, New York Times

"We are lucky in our time to have a Kurt Vonnegut to prod us, scold us, astonish us, unnerve us, entertain us, and make us laugh". -- Cleveland Plain Dealer

"Vonnegut evokes the cynical chortle, the knowing grin, the inner laughter that soothes our troubled reflections...He's mad as hell and laughing all the way to the Apocalypse". -- Playboy
