Author: Vonnegut, Kurt, Jr.
Description:   A madcap genealogical adventure.. Vonnegut is a postmodern Mark Twain. --The New York Times Book Review Galápagos takes the reader back one million years to A.D. 1986. A simple vacation cruise suddenly becomes an evolutionary journey. Thanks to an apocalypse a small group of survivors stranded on the Galápagos Islands are about to become the progenitors of a brave new and totally different human race. In this inimitable novel America s master satirist looks at our world and shows us all that is sadly madly awry-and all that is worth saving. Praise for Galápagos The best Vonnegut novel yet! --John Irving Beautiful.. provocative arresting reading. --USA Today A satire in the classic tradition.. a dark vision a heartfelt warning. --The Detroit Free Press Interesting engaging sad and yet very funny.. Vonnegut is still in top form. If he has no prescription for alleviating the pain of the human condition at least he is a first-rate diagnostician. --Susan Isaacs Newsday Dark.. original and funny. --People A triumph of style originality and warped yet consistent logic.. a condensation an evolution of Vonnegut s entire career including all the issues and questions he has pursued relentlessly for four decades. --The Philadelphia Inquirer Wild details wry humor outrageous characters.. Galápagos is a comic lament a sadly ironic vison. --St. Louis Post-Dispatch A work of high comedy sadness and imagination. --The Denver Post Wacky wit and irreverent imagination.. and the full range of technical innovations have made [Vonnegut] America s preeminent experimental novelist. --The Minneapolis Star and Tribune.
