Hocus Pocus

1,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.
