Slapstick or Lonesome No More! [1999,
by Kurt Vonnegut
“Some of the best and most moving Vonnegut ” San Francisco Chronicle
Slapstick presents an apocalyptic vision as seen through the eyes of the current King of Manhattan (and last President of the United States), a wickedly irreverent look at the all-too-possible results of today’s follies. But even the end of life-as-we-know-it is transformed by Kurt Vonnegut’s pen into hilarious farce—a nal slapstick that may be the Almighty’s joke on us all
“Both funny and sad just about perfect ”—Los Angeles Times
“Imaginative and hilarious a brilliant vision of our wrecked, wacked-out future”—Hartford Courant

As with so many of Vonnegut's books, the forward is of utmost importance It is a rare opportunity to see beyond the veil and understand who KVJ is and what his works are really about. It brings what is otherwise a fairly absurd story about a grotesque set of twin geniuses, into the light, and reveals the deeper story of Vonnegut and his sister. The forward does not go into detail about the particulars of their relationship, but deftly sets the scene to read between the lines of the story Though true in most of his works, Slapstick feels even more personal and revealing than usual There is a trepidation and sadness in it that in other works might be dealt with with more of a light humor and author's ego. This feels to be full of humility and regret of not having done more In the forward, Vonnegut writes about his incapacity for love.'.....

★★★★★ Not his best book but still damn good.
Reviewed in the United States on 08-20-2022
I'm convinced Vonnegut was incapable of writing a bad novel Slapstick is considered one of his lesser works and even he himself gave it a D grade. It's de nitely not in the same league as slaughterhouse ve or cat's cradle but it is funny and interesting At times the story becomes a bit muddled and the pace is erratic but the last several chapters are powerful and the epilogue is moving. I'm glad I read it and I will probably re-read '
