Hocus Pocus  
Kurt Vonnegut
Berkley
From the author of Timequake, this "irresistible" novel (Cleveland Plain Dealer) tells the story of Eugene Debs Hartke-Vietnam veteran, jazz pianist, college professor, and prognosticator of the apocalypse.  It's "Vonnegut's best novel in years-funny and prophetic...something special." (The Nation)
