Hocus Pocus [1997, PDF/EPUB, ENG]

by Kurt Vonnegut

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

★★★★★ One of my favorite Kurt Vonnegut novels!

Reviewed in the United States on 12-06-2019

I came upon Kurt Vonnegut is the most unusual way, I found Hocus Pocus in a box left in the attic from the previous tenant of a lake house in Lincoln City, Oregon. Now, being a kid from the 1980's when I saw 'Hocus Pocus' I thought of the Disney Movie, in fact I thought this book might be novel version of the lm, well, it's not, and reading it changed my life. After I read Hocus Pocus I collected every Kurt Vonnegut book I could lay my hands on, Cat's Cradle, Player Piano, Breakfast of Champions, Mother Night, and of course, Slaughterhouse Five I have read them all and Kurt Vonnegut is my absolute favorite author Nobody would recommend Hocus Pocus as the introduction to Kurt Vonnegut, as this book is laiden with insider jokes about some of his other works, but I am glad that I came into the fold the way I did '

★★★★★ Biting satire from 1990 seems relevant today

Reviewed in the United States on 07-22-2019

I started reading without knowing the publication date. After nishing I looked up the book's Wikipedia page and was surprised because much of the satire seemed very topical even today, such as the discussion on race and the prison system. The prose is typical Vonnegut: the rst person narrative meanders, leaps back and forth in time, goes off on tangents, and points out funny connections I would assume this kind of storytelling would be perfect for an audiobook but there isn't one on audible.But why does the narrator think the Earth is due for an ice age? Surely global warming was a huge concern even at the time of writing I used to read Vonnegut as a teen: Sirens of Titan, Slaughterhouse Five, Slapstick etc (all in translation, naturally). Haven't read the later ones, which is probably a mistake.'.....

★★★★★ WHILE THERE IS A SOUL IN PRISON, I AM NOT FREE!

Reviewed in the United States on 10-27-2016

Vonnegut resembles Picasso; outrage goaded both to produce their most noteworthy work Since Dresden was Vonnegut’s Guernica, his more recent novels often are compared to Slaughterhouse Five. Hocus Pocus measures up nicely Because Vonnegut continues to protest human mistreatment of one another, this 1991 effort deserves our attention. Vonnegut is a storyteller rather than an essayist, however. This novel entertains and satises; many readers will choose to linger in Scipio, New York before moving on to something completely different Many of us who left our home towns decades ago in search of gentler climates and enhanced employment possibilities still view central New York State’s hills, valleys and lakes with considerable affection Those readers from Scipio will recognize that Vonnegut’s portrayals of the town and particularly the Attica Prison riot are poetic rather than factual.'.....
