Slapstick is Kurt Vonnegut’s satirical take on loneliness, family, and absurdity, blending dystopian fiction with his signature dark humor. The novel is narrated by Dr. Wilbur Daffodil-11 Swain, a grotesquely deformed genius who becomes the last President of the United States in a crumbling, absurd future.

As civilization collapses, Wilbur and his equally intelligent but hidden twin sister experiment with a new societal structure, where artificial family units are assigned to combat loneliness. Vonnegut uses this bizarre premise to explore themes of isolation, the failure of government, and the search for meaning in a chaotic world.
