Summary: Jailbird takes us into a fractured and comic, pure Vonnegut world of high crimes and misdemeanors in governmen - and in the heart. This wry tale follows bumbling bureaucrat Walter F. Starbuck from Harvard to the Nixon White House to the penitentiary as Watergates least known co-conspirator.
