"Vonnegut is a post-modern Mark Twain. . . . Galapagos is a madcap genealogical adventure".--New York Times Book Review.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"A madcap genealogical adventure . . . Vonnegut is a postmodern Mark Twain."<b>--<i>The New York Times Book Review</i></b> <p/></b><i>Galápagos </i>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 Galápagos 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. <p/><b>Praise for <i>Galápagos</i></b> <p/>"The best Vonnegut novel yet!"<b>--John Irving</b> <p/> "Beautiful . . . provocative, arresting reading."<b>--<i>USA Today</i></b><i> <p/></i>"A satire in the classic tradition . . . a dark vision, a heartfelt warning."<b>--<i>The Detroit Free Press</i></b> <p/> "Interesting, engaging, sad and yet very funny . . .
