More about the book
Slapstick presents an apocalyptic vision seen through the eyes of the current King of Manhattan (and last President of the United States), a wickedly irreverent look at the all-too-possible results of today' s follies. But even the end of life-as-we-know-it is transformed by Vonnegut' s pen into hilarious farce (a final slapstick that may be the Almighty' s joke on us all.) " Vonnegut' s ongoing puppet show... that fabulous is reborn." John Updike " Both funny and sad... just about perfect!" "Los Angeles Times"" Imaginative and hilarious... a brilliant vision of our wrecked, wacked-out future." "Hartford Courant "*"The New York Times"
