Contents:
Cat's cradle -- God bless you, Mr. Rosewater -- Slaughterhouse-five -- Breakfast of champions -- Stories. Welcome to the monkey house -- Fortitude -- The big space fuck -- Appendix A. Address to the American Physical Society, New York City, February 5, 1969 -- Appendix B. Letter from PFC Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., to his family, May 29, 1945 -- Wailing shall be in all streets -- A "special message" to readers of the Franklin Library's limited edition of "Slaughterhouse-five" -- Preface to the twenty-fifth-anniversary edition of "Slaughterhouse-five".
Summary: Presents a collection of four novels, four short stories, and other writings, including a speech and letters. Like Mark Twain, Kurt Vonnegut was a Midwestern everyman steeped in the rhythms of American speech whose anger at the way things are was matched only by his love for the best that we can be. His cunningly relaxed delivery was so original, so finely calibrated, and so profound an articulation of the Sixties' spirit that many critics overlooked the moral seriousness behind the standup-comic craftsmanship.
