Bluebeard (1987) is the colorful history of a phenomenally gifted realist painter who, in the 1950s, betrayed his artistic vision for commercial success. Now, at seventy-one, he writes his memoirs and plots his revenge on the worldly forces that conspired to corrupt his talent. In Hocus Pocus (1990), a freewheeling prison memoir by a Vietnam vet and disgraced academic, Vonnegut brings his indelible voice to a range of still-burning issues--free speech, racism, environmental calamity, deindustrialization, and globalization. Timequake (1997), the author's last completed novel, is part science fiction yarn (starring perennial protagonist Kilgore Trout), part diary of the mid-1990s (starring the author himself). The result is a perfect fusion of Vonnegut's two signature genres, the satirical fantasy and the personal essay, and a literary magician's fond farewell to his readers and his craft."--jacket. 600 10 $a Vonnegut, Kurt $v Literary collections. 650 0 $a Autobiography $x Authorship $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Artists $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Prisoners $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Satirical literature. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Science fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Offit, Sidney, $e editor. 700 12 $a Vonnegut, Kurt. $t Bluebeard. 700 12 $a Vonnegut, Kurt. $t Hocus pocus. 700 12 $a Vonnegut, Kurt. $t Timequake. 941 $a 12 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611012502.0 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718092357.0 952 $l KAPF566 $d 20230331014135.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230203012220.0 952 $l CGPC482 $d 20220526012322.0 952 $l SKPC094 $d 20190504015748.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006093059.0 952 $l HYAX325 $d 20180623024448.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171228014209.0 952 $l HWAX074 $d 20170620010924.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826050354.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20160518010748.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E83BCCF211BE11E693E905BEDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
