One of Kurt Vonnegut's most beloved books, this 1968 collection now appears in a special edition featuring alternate drafts of the title story and an illuminating, accompanying essay by noted Vonnegut scholar Gregory Sumner, which allows the reader to experience Vonnegut's writing process in real time.
Kurt Vonnegut's black humor, satiric voice, and incomparable imagination first captured America's attention in The Sirens of Titan in 1959 and established him as a true artist in Cat's Cradle in 1963. He was, as Graham Greene declared, "one of the best living American writers." Mr. Vonnegut passed away in April 2007.
