Description: SLAPSTICK Kurt Vonnegut, well-advanced into middle age, flies with his only living sibling, the atmospheric scientist Dr, Bernard Vonnegut, to the funeral of their favorite uncle, Alex Vonnegut, in Indianapolis. He and his brother are as rootless as box turtles or tumbleweeds -inhabiting little more than their heads. Bernard studies clouds during the airplane trip. The author daydreams of a one-hundred-year-old man who lives in the lobby of the Empire State Building in the ruins of Manhattan. The old man is Dr. Wilbur Daffodil-11 Swain, a pediatrician who, in collaboration with his sister, Eliza, wrote the most popular child-rearing manual in history, So You Went and Had a Baby. He is also a former President of the United States of America, whose campaign slogan was this: LONESOME NO MORE! DELACORTE PRESS/SEYMOUR LAWRENCE
