About the book
In God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian, Kurt Vonnegut skips back and forth between life and afterlife as if the difference between them were rather slight.This fictional adventure, that began as a series of 90-second interludes for WNYC, New York City's public radio station, has evolved over the past year as a strange and lasting work of the imagination. God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian follows on Vonnegut's three previous works, the bestselling novel Timequake, Bagombo Snuff Box: Uncollected Short Fiction and, with Lee Stringer, Like Shaking Hands with God (Seven Stories Press).
