my fiction reading has been sparse for many years. after slipping back into
the mode, i have re-read most of vonnegut's novels. can anyone suggest more
recent fiction of the vonnegut genre that will satisfy my need for witty
social/political satirical humor in the vonnegut fashion?

thanks, paul

You might like Chuck Palahniuk. I've read "Survivor" and "Lullaby"
and thought they were both great.
