Media Reviews

Vonnegut performs considerable complex magic... Fresh, funny, outrageous...he very nearly levitates New York Times A great deal of wit and playfulness...an entire universe of disorder is distilled Guardian Outrageous, witty, thought-provoking, unputdownable, scintillating, invigorating, ennobling, enlightening and masterly Spectator Brilliant... It seems, at times, as if Voltaire has returned to satirise the horrors of plastic, disposable America Sunday Times
