Hocus Pocus

From the New York Times bestselling author of Slaughterhouse-Five 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" (Atlanta Journal & Constitution) .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.
