Slapstick, Or, Lonesome No More!

Manhattan has become the Island of Death.<br> <br> The former President of the United States stands barefoot in a purple toga around a cooking fire in the lobby of the Empire State Building.<br> <br> He is Dr Wilbur Daffodil-II Swain and <i>Slapstick or Lonesome No More!</i> is his story - one of monstrous twins, orgies, revenge, golf, utopian schemes, and very little tooth brushing. In this post-apocalyptic black comedy - dedicated to Laurel and Hardy - Vonnegut is at his most hilarious, grotesque, and personal.
