The story follows Stony Stevenson, an everyman astronaut who wins a Tang cereal contest and is launched into the Chrono-Synclastic Infundibulum — a region of space where all truths coexist simultaneously — sending him ricocheting through a kaleidoscope of Vonnegutian realities populated by characters from Cat's Cradle, The Sirens of Titan, Slaughterhouse-Five, and beyond.\n\nOriginally produced as a PBS special, this illustrated adaptation stands as a unique artifact in American literary history, offering a bold, metafictional showcase of Vonnegut's singular imagination. His trademark wit — sardonic, deeply humanist, and laced with a profound sorrow for the human condition — binds together what might otherwise seem like disconnected vignettes into a cohesive statement about fate, free will, and the absurdity of modern existence. For the initiated Vonnegut reader, it is a thrilling reunion; for the uninitiated, it is a perfect, disorienting introduction to one of the twentieth century's most indispensable voices.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49336816697563,"sku":"2026200016277-SECONDHAND","price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/4f7117f2-0f8e-4d39-a52b-9fad32b33345.png?v=1789958718","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200016277-secondhand-between-time-timbuktu","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
