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".

"Often very funny."

Kirkus, 08/01/1997

"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."
