According to alt.books.kurt-vonnegut (one of those dreaded newsgroups that
I look at occasionally) he has a novel called I believe _Timequake_ coming
out soon.  The newsgroup has also had a lengthy discussion of the recently
released movie of Vonnegut's _Mother Night_ which hasn't yet made it to
Tampa. The book is interesting and chilling, about being careful what you
pretend to be because that is what you are.
