Slapstick presents an apocalyptic vision 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
Vonnegut's pen into hilarious farce--a final slapstick that may be the
Almighty's joke on us all.
An irreverent romp that thematically tackles the wrenching pain of
human loneliness, mocks organized religion, and meticulously criticizes
marriage, love, patriotism, and the ruling class system. The humor,
reflecting the book's title, is bold and never apologetic, keeping in line
with Vonnegut's firmly established voice as the master of the apocalyptic
comedy.
