Un gatto viziatissimo e la sua umana schiavizzata. Sir Thomas è un Maine Coon rosso, supponente e cinico. Attraverso i suoi occhi e la sua voce narrante racconta come la sua dipendente Federica (spesso definita "l'incapace"), cerchi invano di soddisfare le sue infinite necessità. E nonostante lo intrattenga con giochi sempre nuovi, lo nutra con leccornie prelibate e gli spazzoli regolarmente il soffice manto... non ne fa mai una giusta.

Drei Schicksale, ein Tresen, hundert Geschichten: Die legendäre Kneipe Haus Himmelreich, eine der letzten ihrer Art im ganzen Ruhrgebiet, soll schließen! Der Erzähler nimmt das zum Anlass, sich die Gaststätte genauer anzusehen. Bei seiner Recherche für einen Artikel begegnet er skurrilen Stammgästen wie dem Käpt'n, dem Langen, Faris, dem Comedian oder der Wacholder-Anni, die so einiges zu erzählen haben. Der wahre Geist der Kneipe ist allerdings Wirtin Rita Urbaniak. Sie übernahm die Kneipe schon in den 1970ern, obwohl sie eigentlich was ganz anderes machen wollte.

Traumatized by the bombing of Dresden at the time he had been imprisoned, Pilgrim drifts through all events and history, sometimes deeply implicated, sometimes a witness. He is surrounded by Vonnegut's usual large cast of continuing characters (notably here the hack science fiction writer Kilgore Trout and the alien Tralfamadorians, who oversee his life and remind him constantly that there is no causation, no order, no motive to existence).

My husband is dead. I attended his funeral. I watched his casket be lowered six feet into the ground. (Actually, it may have been only five feet, but that still seems like more than enough.) And then we ate an array of finger sandwiches and deviled eggs and miniature beef wellingtons that cost more than my first car. My point is, Grant is gone. And so are all his many, many deep, dark secrets which I never really ever bothered to ask him about. He is never coming back.
