Timequake is a 2001 Kurt Vonnegut novel featuring who else: Kilgore Trout. The idea is that every single person in the world was transported back in time to what they were doing in 1991, and forced to relive those ten years. The catch is that they can't change anything. Every person is completely aware of the repetition, but are unable to do anything different than how it happened the first time. Drunk drivers get wasted and ruin lives, children watch their parents die, and lovers unavoidably spoil their relationships all over again.
At the end of the whole thing, the entire world is basically gripped with ennui, the most melodramatic kind of depression, Vonnegut goes on multiple autobiographical tangents, and Kilgore Trout is the only person who can bring everybody else out of their stupor.
So it goes.
