Jailbird
Jailbird is a
novel by
Kurt Vonnegut originally published in
1979. Its plot concerns a man recently released from a low security prison. The novel eschews the typical build to a
climax and reveals the outcome almost at the very beginning of the book. The novel's subject is Walter Starbuck, who, after being released from prison, merely wishes to get a job and live in moderate contentment.
