Welcome to the Monkey House

內容簡介

內容簡介 Since its original publication in 1968, Welcome to the Monkey House has been one of Kurt Vonnegut's most beloved works. This special edition celebrates a true master of the short-story form by including multiple variant drafts of what would eventually be the title story. In a fascinating accompanying essay, "Building the Monkey House: At Kurt Vonnegut's Writing Table," noted Vonnegut scholar Gregory D. Sumner walks readers through Vonnegut's process as the author struggles--false start after false start--to hit upon what would be one of his greatest stories. The result is the rare chance to watch a great writer hone his craft in real time. Includes the following stories: "Where I Live""Harrison Bergeron""Who Am I This Time?""Welcome to the Monkey House""Long Walk to Forever""The Foster Portfolio""Miss Temptation""All the King's Horses""Tom Edison's Shaggy Dog""New Dictionary""Next Door""More Stately Mansions""The Hyannis Port Story""D.P.""Report on the Barnhouse Effect""The Euphio Question""Go Back to Your Precious Wife and Son""Deer in the Works""The Lie""Unready to Wear""The Kid Nobody Could Handle""The Manned Missiles""Epicac""Adam""Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow"

作者介紹

作者介紹 Kurt Vonnegut's 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" (The New York Times) with 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.
