While Mortals Sleep: Unpublished Short Fiction

Synopsis

While mortals sleep is a smart, clear-eyed collection of stories from one of the most original writers in american fiction. Set in trailers, bars and factories, vonnegut conjures up a world where men and machines, art and artifice, fame and fortune become curiously twisted and characters pit their dreams and fears against a cruel and comically indifferent world. Written early in his career, and never published before, these tightly plotted stories are infused with vonnegut's distinctive blend of observation, imagination and scabrous humour.
