The events of Kurt Vonnegut's novel Buffonade, or No Longer Alone take place in the United States of America in the near future. The state has collapsed and lost all its prestige, while the entire earthly civilisation has been destroyed, and natural and man-made disasters are raging in the world. Despite this, people do not lose their kindness, cordiality, and compassion.

The novel combines an original idea with a brilliant author's style. Autobiographical memories are transformed into stunning passages of fantasy, and paradoxical situations and grotesque characters are described with warmth and tenderness. "Buffoonery, or No Longer Alone is full of gentle humour and subtle irony.
