Enticing crossover of short semi-auto biographical stories and Kilgore Trout’s story before, during, and following the time quake. Dark humor at its best and sometimes cringiest but still rings true and salient in the current state of affairs.

Aside from the occasional hilarious quip and sporadic heartfelt narrative, I was not able to vibe with this book. It's a bit of a mess... one can almost sense that Vonnegut was just winging it as he went.

A bit more confusing that other Vonnegut, which is saying something. Hard to follow with all the time-jumps. Not my favorite.
