A book of metafiction by the celebrated American novelist. In the year 2001, a glitch in the space-time continuum occurs, making everybody repeat everything that had been done since 1991.

There's been a timequake. And everyone--even you--must live the decade between February 17, 1991 and February 17, 2001 over again. The trick is that we all have to do exactly the same things as we did the first time--minute by minute, hour by hour, year by year, betting on the wrong horse again, marrying the wrong person again. Why? You'll have to ask the old science fiction writer, Kilgore Trout. This was all his idea.

Kurt Vonnegut's first full-length work in seven years--now in trade paperback! There's been a timequake. And everyone must relive the decade between February 17, 1991 and February 17, 2001. The trick is, everything has to be done "exactly" as it was the first time. Why? You'll have to ask the old science fiction writer, Kilgore Trout. This was all his idea.
