Gal pagos takes the reader back one million years, to A.D. 1986. A simple vacation cruise suddenly becomes an evolutionary journey. Thanks to an apocalypse, a small group of survivors stranded on the Gal pagos Islands are about to become the progenitors of a brave, new, and totally different human race. In this inimitable novel, America's master satirist looks at our world and shows us all that is sadly, madly awry-and all that is worth saving. Praise for Gal pagos**"The best Vonnegut novel yet "--John Irving"Beautiful . . . provocative, arresting reading."** --* USA Today***"A satire in the classic tradition . . . a dark vision, a heartfelt warning."** --* The Detroit Free Press***"Interesting, engaging, sad and yet very funny . . . Vonnegut is still in top form. If he has no prescription for alleviating the pain of the human condition, at least he is a first-rate diagnostician."--Susan Isaacs,* Newsday*"Dark . . . original and funny."** --* People***"A triumph of style, originality and warped yet consistent logic . . . a condensation, an evolution of Vonnegut's entire career, including all the issues and questions he has pursued relentlessly for four decades."** --* The Philadelphia Inquirer***"Wild details, wry humor, outrageous characters . . . Gal pagos is a comic lament, a sadly ironic vison."--* St. Louis Post-Dispatch*"A work of high comedy, sadness and imagination."** --* The Denver Post***"Wacky wit and irreverent imagination . . . and the full range of technical innovations have made Vonnegut] America's preeminent experimental novelist."** --* The Minneapolis Star and Tribune***
