Jailbird is Kurt Vonnegut's 1979 fictional novel about a man recently released from a low security prison. In the typical Vonnegut fashion, the novel eschews the typical build to a climax and lets you know the outcome almost at the very beginning of the book. Nevertheless, it is quite engaging as it leads you through the strange journey of Walter Starbuck, who, after being released from prison, merely wishes to get a job and live in moderate contentment.
The topic of Jailbird is mostly corporate America -- what runs our businesses behind the scenes and the human weaknesses that are bound to bring us back down from our capitalist high.
JAILBIRD emerges from a very particular musical tradition, and from a world penetrated by sonic invasions, as well as the emotional cascades of the millennium.
F : Jailbird was initially a marvellous adventure created by two brothers who carried the essence of the same passion in their veins.
Jailbird's past is nothing but a succession of nasty surprises, disappointments and bad karma.
