New York 1950. A young PR man working at General Electric sold his first magazine piece. By the time he'd sold his third he decided to quit his job and join the likes of Salinger Hemingway Fitzgerald and Faulkner and make a living as a full-time writer. That young man was Kurt Vonnegut. Bagombo Snuff Box collects Vonnegut’s favourite stories from the postwar years that sharpened his dark vaudevillian and quietly subversive voice. Here we see the mind-bending wit and central themes of his masterpiece Slaughterhouse-Five. A must-read for Vonnegut aficionados new and old.
