Early UK paperback printing of Jailbird by Kurt Vonnegut. Signed by the man himself.
Jailbird takes us into a fractured and comic, pure Vonnegut world of high crimes and misdemeanors of the government and of the heart.
This tale follows bumbling bureaucrat Walter Starbuck from Harvard to the Nixon White House to the penitentiary as Watergate’s least-known co-conspirator.
The humor turns dark when Vonnegut shines his spotlight on the cold hearts and calculated greed of the mighty, giving a razor-sharp edge to an unforgettable portrait of power and politics in our times.
“A gem … a mature, imaginative novel-possibly the best he has written … Jailbird is a guided tour de force of America. Take it!” – Playboy
