Jailbird-囚鸟

作者：Kurt Vonnegut

书名：Jailbird《囚鸟》

中文简介：《囚鸟》（1979）以一个人的遭遇串起美国20世纪中期各个重大事件，包括麦卡锡主义、水门事件等，揭露美国社会的黑暗一面。

英文简介：Jailbird takes us into a fractured and comic, pure Vonnegut world of high crimes and misdemeanors in government—and in the heart. This wry tale follows bumbling bureaucrat Walter F. Starbuck from Harvard to the Nixon White House to the penitentiary as Watergate’s least known co-conspirator. But the humor turns dark when Vonnegut shines his spotlight on the cold hearts and calculated greed of the mighty, giving a razor-sharp edge to an unforgettable portrait of power and politics in our times.
