About this product

Product Information

From the New York Times bestselling author of Slaughterhouse-Five comes an irresistible novel that combines "clever wit with keen social observation... and] re-establishes Mr. Vonnegut's place as the Mark Twain of our times" ( Atlanta Journal & Constitution ). Here is the adventure of Eugene Debs Hartke. He's a Vietnam veteran, a jazz pianist, a college professor, and a prognosticator of the apocalypse (and other things Earth-shattering). But that's neither here nor there. Because at Tarkington College--where he teaches--the excrement is about to hit the air-conditioning. And it's all Eugene's fault.

Reviews
Praise for Hocus Pocus " Hocus Pocus is the most topical, realistic Vonnegut novel to date...he is a satirist with a heart, a moralist with a whoopee cushion."--Jay McInerney, The New York Times "Vonnegut's best novel in years--funny and prophetic, yes, and fabulous too, as cunning as Aesop and as gloomy as Grimm...He's up to something special in Hocus Pocus ."-- The Nation "A king-sized relief valve of comedy. Every bit as humorous as Cat's Cradle , Slaughterhouse-Five , Breakfast of Champions or any of Vonnegut's other comic masterpieces...Vonnegut evokes the cynical chrotle, the knowing grin, the inner laughter that soothes our troubled reflections...He's mad as hell and laughing all the way to the apocalypse."-- Playboy "His voice is one of the most original in popular American fiction...sharp-toothed satire...truly hilarious... Hocus Pocus is ample proof that his literary prestidigitation can still amuse and delight."-- San Francisco Chronicle "Irresistible... Hocus Pocus is vintage Vonnegut, witty, startling, satiric...off-the-wall brilliance. Vonnegut is a true original. Hocus Pocus is not only poignant and provocative, it is outrageous and very funny indeed. If Luck and Time are the two prime movers of the Universe, we are lucky in our time to have a Kurt Vonnegut to prod us, scold us, astonish us, unnerve us, entertain us and make us laugh."-- The Cleveland Plain Dealer, Praise for Hocus Pocus " Hocus Pocus is the most topical, realistic Vonnegut novel to date...he is a satirist with a heart, a moralist with a whoopee cushion."--Jay McInerney, The New York Times "Vonnegut's best novel in years--funny and prophetic, yes, and fabulous too, as cunning as Aesop and as gloomy as Grimm...He's up to something special in Hocus Pocus ."-- The Nation "A king-sized relief valve of comedy.

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!

  • Hocus Pocus

    Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s 1990 release, Hocus Pocus, tells the story of Eugene Debs Hartke, a Vietnam War veteran, in the usual Vonnegut wit and satire of life on Earth. Tongue in cheek and the comedy of reality give way to the problematic ways of life he is so good at communicating. Definitely worthwhile.
