Hocus Pocus

<b>From the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Slaughterhouse-Five </i>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” (<i><b>Atlanta Journal & Constitution</b></i><b>).</b></b><br><br>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.
