Full description for Jailbird
"Jailbird" takes us into a fractured a comic, pure Vonnegut world of high crimes and misdemeanors in government...and in the heart. This wry tale follows bumbling bureacrat Walter F. Starbuck from Harvard to the Nixon White House to the penitentiary as Watergate's least know 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.
