Front and center in this novel is Vonnegut's alter-ego, Kilgore Trout, as well as Vonnegut himself, who narrates the book.

Would any rewind really be satisfying? The conceit that people have free will is explored when the timequake ends and don't really Timequake to exercise free will. Even though Kilgore Trout doesn't believe in free will, like a Paul Revere of the space-time continuum, he announces its return. It's an interesting image that allows Vonnegut to enter into a dialogue with 'American patriot' Trout about free will and humanity. Even more interesting, it feels like you are witnessing the last words of both men's long cantankerous lives or a moving on as both men wave farewell to who and what Timequake been important Timequake them.

My wife was beautifully right in buying me Kurt Vonnegut. Kurt Vonnegut was right in writing it. I was right in waiting. I wasn't ready for this book. I'm now 20 years closer to death. I am now a father to two pimply teenagers who are sleeping tonight waiting for their parents to pretend still they are Santa and bring them goodies on Christmas morning. We are all pretending the best we can. We are all making the best of this short spin on Earth. I can get better his take on free will, money, morality, and art. Timequake isn't Timequake great novel, but it has absolutely brilliant parts. I love its Timequake and sentences better than I liked the book. It has a fantastic message about extended family and friends and community that I Timequake adored. It has so many good lines yes, I said that before, but now I'm going to pull back the curtain : "Only when free will kicked in again could they stop running obstacle courses of their own construction.
