Synopsis:
According to Kurt Vonnegut's alter ego, science fiction writer Kilgore Trout, a global timequake will occur in New York City on February 13, 2001, at 2:27 p.m. It will be the moment when the universe suffers a crisis of conscience: Should it expand or make a great big bang? For whatever cosmic reason, it decides to back up a decade to 1991, forcing everyone to endure ten years of deja-vu ("a purgatory of reruns") and a total loss of free will. A mind-blowing new novel by the author of "Hocus Pocus" and "Galapagos".
Review:
"Often very funny."
Kirkus, 08/01/1997
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, 09/28/1997

Book Description: G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York, NY, 1997. Quarter Cloth. Book Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition, First Printing. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. New York, NY, G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1987. First edition, first printing. 8vo. Dark red quarter cloth over raspberry colored boards with gilt lettering embossed on spine and gilt artwork embossed on front board, gray endpapers decorated with black and silver flecks, 219 pp. On February 13th, 2001, the universe will tire, momentarily, of expanding forever. What's the point? Maybe it would be more fun to shrink for a change. It will shrink back to February 17th, 1991, but then it will decide that expansion is the way to go after all. As time marches on once more to 2001, though, everyone and everything will have to do exactly what they did the first time through the decade, for good or for ill. But, all hell cuts loose when the rerun is over and free will kicks in again! Dust jacket has very minor shelf wear. New in a near fine dust jacket, protected by a mylar cover.
