Happy Birthday, wanda june

By Kurt Vonnegut

Harold Ryan is a ‘man’s man’ with a beautiful young wife (his fourth), a house full of hunting trophies, and a lust for... everything. Missing for seven years, having left on a quest for diamonds in the Amazon, he returns to find a wife beset by suitors, a son he barely knows, and a world in which his violent conquering spirit no longer belongs. If indeed it ever did.

Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., author of Cat’s Cradle and Slaughterhouse Five, uses the Ulysses homecoming story to take dramatic aim at America’s love affair with war and warriors. With Penelope as a former carhop, doorbells by Abercrombie and Fitch, and Jesus and Hitler playing shuffleboard in heaven, even Australopithecus, Pithecanthropus erectus and the Neanderthalers are back on Earth:
to see how it ends.
