An experimental television play adapted from the fiction of Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., blending characters and themes from his novels and stories into a single nonlinear narrative. Conceived as a space fantasy, the work follows poet-astronaut Stony Stevenson through time and history, combining satire, science fiction, and philosophical inquiry. Published in conjunction with the 1972 NET Playhouse television broadcast, Between Time and Timbuktu represents one of Vonnegut’s most unusual projects, bridging literature, television, and performance.
A distinctive Kurt Vonnegut work and the first book publication of the NET teleplay, offering strong appeal to collectors of Vonnegut, experimental fiction, and 1970s countercultural literature.
