Description
A diabolically funny and macabre novel by the brilliantly wacky Kurt Vonnegut – now rejacketed with a brilliant, witty new look for the backlist.
Black satire of the highest polish - Guardian
Whilst awaiting trial for war crimes in an Israeli prison, Howard W. Campbell Jr sets down his memoirs on an old German typewriter. He has used such a typewriter before, when he worked as a Nazi propagandist under Goebbels. Though that was before he agreed to become a spy for the US military. Is Howard guilty? Can a black or white verdict ever be reached in a world that's a gazillion shades of grey?
After Vonnegut, everything else seems a bit tame - Spectator
