“A madcap genealogical adventure . . . Vonnegut is a postmodern Mark Twain.” -- The New York Times Book Review

Galápagos 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.

Praise for Galápagos

“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 . . . Galápagos 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
