[Kurt Vonnegut] has never been more satirically ontarget. . . . Nothing is spared.PeopleJailbird takes us into a fractured and comic, pure Vonnegut world of high crimes and misdemeanors in governmentand in the heart. This wry tale follows bumbling bureaucrat Walter F. Starbuck from Harvard to the Nixon White House to the penitentiary as Watergates least known coconspirator. But the humor turns dark when Vonnegut shines his spotlight on the cold hearts and calculated greed of the mighty, giving a razorsharp edge to an unforgettable portrait of power and politics in our times.Praise for Jailbird[Vonnegut] is our strongest writer . . . the most stubbornly imaginative.John IrvingA gem . . . a mature, imaginative novelpossibly the best he has written . . . Jailbird is a guided tour de force of America. Take it!PlayboyA profoundly humane comedy . . . Jailbird definitely mounts up on angelic wingsin its speed, in its sparkle, and in its highflying intent.Chicago Tribune Book WorldJoyously inventive . . . gleams with the loony magic Vonnegut alone can achieve.CosmopolitanVonnegut is our great apocalyptic writer, the closest thing weve had to a prophet since . . . Lenny Bruce.Chicago SunTimesVonnegut at his impressive best. . . . His imaginative leaps alone . . . are worth the price of admission. . . . His farreaching metaphysical and cultural concerns . . . are ultimately serious and worth our contemplation.The Washington Post
