About this product

Product Information

"A madcap genealogical adventure . . . Vonnegut is a postmodern Mark Twain." -- The New York Times Book Review Gal pagos takes the reader back one million years, to A.D. 1986. A simple vacation cruise suddenly becomes an evolutionary journey. Thanks to an apocalypse, a small group of survivors stranded on the Gal pagos Islands are about to become the progenitors of a brave, new, and totally different human race. In this inimitable novel, America' s master satirist looks at our world and shows us all that is sadly, madly awry-and all that is worth saving. Praise for Gal pagos "The best Vonnegut novel yet " --John Irving "Beautiful . . . provocative, arresting reading." -- USA Today "A satire in the classic tradition . . . a dark vision, a heartfelt warning." -- The Detroit Free Press "Interesting, engaging, sad and yet very funny . . . Vonnegut is still in top form. If he has no prescription for alleviating the pain of the human condition, at least he is a first-rate diagnostician." --Susan Isaacs, Newsday "Dark . . . original and funny." -- People "A triumph of style, originality and warped yet consistent logic . . . a condensation, an evolution of Vonnegut's entire career, including all the issues and questions he has pursued relentlessly for four decades." -- The Philadelphia Inquirer "Wild details, wry humor, outrageous characters . . . Gal pagos is a comic lament, a sadly ironic vison." -- St. Louis Post-Dispatch "A work of high comedy, sadness and imagination." -- The Denver Post "Wacky wit and irreverent imagination . . . and the full range of technical innovations have made Vonnegut] America's preeminent experimental novelist." -- The Minneapolis Star and Tribune

Shipping was fast but no tracking and worst packaging ever.. like the box came banged up... send a question to seller never had a reply 😅.... Good product overall, excellent price, fast shipping, wrapped only on 4 sides out of 6, no tracking and never reply... 4★ product / 2★ seller ✌️

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Galapagos

    Leon Trotsky tells this tale from the grave far in the future after a cataclysmic depopulation of the Earth. The story takes place on Santa Rosalia Island of the Galapagos chain where the human species has taken a severe turn in a different direction from the way we are currently headed. Thought provoking and entertaining.
