Nothing is spared.-PeopleJailbird takes us into a fractured and comic, pure Vonnegut world of high crimes and misdemeanors in government-and in the heart. This wry tale follows bumbling bureaucrat Walter F. Starbuck from Harvard to the Nixon White House to the penitentiary as Watergates least known co-conspirator. But the humor turns dark when Vonnegut shines his spotlight on the cold hearts and calculated greed of the mighty, giving a razor-sharp edge to an unforgettable portrait of power and politics in our times.Praise for Jailbird[Vonnegut] is our strongest writer . . . the most stubbornly imaginative.-John IrvingA gem . . . a mature, imaginative novel-possibly the best he has written . . . Jailbird is a guided tour de force of America. Take it!-PlayboyA profoundly humane comedy . . .
