Jailbird : a novel

Jailbird takes us into a fractured and comic, pure Vonnegut world of high crimes and misdemeanors in government?and in the heart. This wry tale follows bumbling bureaucrat Walter F. Starbuck from Harvard to the Nixon White House to the penitentiary as Watergate?s least known co-conspirator. But 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.From the Trade Paperback edition.

  • "Harvard, the New Deal, the Holocaust, World War II, Watergate, two prison terms, and a giant conglomerate ... This wry tale follows bumbling bureaucrat Walter F. Starbuck, who tries to live by the Sermon on the Mount, from Harvard to the Nixon White House to the penitentiary as Watergate's least known co-conspirator. Shall the meek inherit the earth? Perhaps on a short-term basis."
  • "Sardonique et satirique, ce roman de 1979 permet à l'écrivain un exposé indirect, par personnages interposés, sur la vulnérabilité des Etats-Unis, socialement, politiquement et économiquement. Le départ est donné par la sortie de prison d'un sexagénaire, sage victime du scandale de Watergate, rejeté des siens mais accueilli par une corporation multinationale, bien décrite comme un requin, sinon un piranha. Lecture plus facile d'accès que les précédents du même auteur, avec la même fantaisie et la même désinvolture."
