Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:On February 13th, 2001, according to Vonnegut, the universe will tire momentarily of expanding forever. What's the point? Maybe it would be more fun to shrink for a change, and have a reunion of all the stuff back where it began. Then it could make a great big BANG again. It will shrink back to February 17th, 1991, but will then decide that expansion is the way to go, after all. As time marches on once more to 2001, though, Vonnegut and Trout and everybody else and everything else will have to do exactly what they did the first time through the decade, for good or ill: marry the wrong person, bet on the wrong horse. Whatever! Ten years of deja vu all over again! At least deja vu doesn't cause physical injury and property damage. Review:"At 74, Vonnegut has had enough of the writing life, he tells us in the
preface, and Timequake was obviously inspired by his sense that
his life's work is winding down. But let me be just the latest to declare
that this work has been a blessing. Vonnegut may not have finished the
novel, but for a generation of readers he still writes the book." New York Times Book Review Review:"His funniest book since Breakfast of Champions." Newsweek Review:"Irresistible reading." Chicago Sun-Times What Our Readers Are SayingAdd a comment for a chance to win!
