Description
Eugene Debs Hartke's story is one of struggle and disillusionment. A Vietnam veteran turned college professor, now an inmate at Tarkington State Reformatory, his life has been marked by farce and hypocrisy. On scraps of paper pilfered from the prison library, he recounts his own tale for posterity. Hartke's narrative reveals a world that seems determined to thwart his success. His experiences are a testament to the injustices faced by those who don't fit into society's expectations. This is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that explores the human condition in all its complexity. Published in 1991, Hocus Pocus is a searing critique of modern life, written with characteristic Vonnegut wit and satire.
