A collection of older unpublished stories from the early part of Vonnegut's career. Perhaps there was no market for them 50+ years ago, but there is some very clever stuff here for us to enjoy.

These unpublished stories are a fitting tribute to one of our greatest writers. Unfortunately none of the stories are dated. Too bad! Why were they unpublished? Was he not satisfied with them? Were they recent, waiting to be submitted? (Am I starting to write like Jules Verne?) As an added highlight, the book is punctuated with many of the authors original illustrations: dated from 1993 to 2006. But dont look for any of his so far out you cant tell what it is sci-fi scenarios. These little gems are more in the vein of having been written for periodicals with a more sober clientele. All in all, this is vintage Vonnegut. Dont miss it!
