Hocus Pocus, published in 1990, is one of Kurt Vonnegut’s late novels, narrated from prison by Eugene Debs Hartke, a Vietnam veteran turned college professor turned prison teacher who looks back on war, class, and American decline as the century closes. Written in Vonnegut’s characteristic fragmentary style, assembled by its narrator on scraps of paper of varying size, it renews the mordant satire and humane pessimism that made him one of the most beloved American writers of the postwar era. Vonnegut, the author of Slaughterhouse-Five, Cat’s Cradle, and Breakfast of Champions, remains among the most widely read and influential novelists of the twentieth century.
