Synopsis
An experimental television play composed of excerpts from his novels and stories, Between Time and Timbuktu features Kurt Vonnegut&’s special blend of scientific expertise, wit, and penetrating comment. &“Most unusual, ultra imaginative . . . a sort of cross between 2001: A Space Odyssey and Alice in Wonderland.&”—Philadelphia InquirerThe basic story line: Young Stony Stevenson wins a jingle contest and, as his prize, is blasted off into the time-space warp. The country&’s first poet-astronaut thus experiences both past and future human history simultaneously. His observations on it consist mainly of dramatized selections from the author&’s works. The result is a unique Vonnegut sampler cast in the form of &“an excellent drama&” (Pittsburgh Press).
