Listen: Billy Pilgrim has become unstuck in time. So begins Vonnegut’s absurdist 1969 classic. Hawke rises to the occasion of performing this sliced-and-diced narrative, which is part sci-fi and partially based on Vonnegut’s experience as a American prisoner of war in Dresden, Germany during the firebombing of 1945 that killed thousands of civilians. Billy travels in time and...

"Времетрясение» — произведение, которое Курт Воннегут называет своим «романом мемуарами», — стало, по словам писателя, его последней работой в жанре прозы, своеобразной кодой его карьеры.
