Book Description: This long awaited volume brings together the finest of Kurt Vonnegut, Jr's shorter works. Sex, machines, pills, men, women, society, good, evil, outer space, inner space, time past, present and future, are among the subjects infused with the fascinating, fantastic and formidable Vonnegut magic. It is a funny, sad, explosive, wildly gyrating gathering, a mind-boggling grab-bag in which every selection is a winner. Better than any other book, it displays the enormous range of the author's extraordinary creative vision. For many years, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. has been a hero of underground literature in America. Only recently, however, has the general public become aware of his unique genius. His is a far-out imagination which always winds up right on target, an irresistible humor with a suberb cutting edge, a storytelling talent that makes reading a pleasure as well as a mind-jolting experience. He is, as Graham Greene has declared, "one of the best living American writers."
