Galapagos: A Novel (Delta Fiction)

Galapagos: A Novel (Delta Fiction)

â‚¬Å“A madcap genealogical adventure . . . Vonnegut is a postmodern Mark Twain.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"TheÂ New York Times Book Review

GalÂ¡pagos 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 GalÂ¡pagos Islands are about to become the progenitors of a brave, new, and totally different human race. In this inimitable novel, Americaâ‚¬ s master satirist looks at our world and shows us all that is sadly, madly awryâ‚¬â€œand all that is worth saving.
