About the author (1985)

Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007) was among the few grandmasters of 20th-Century American letters, one without whom the very term American literature would mean much less than it does now. Vonnegut's other books from Seven Stories Press include, with Lee Stringer, Like Shaking Hands with God, and the national bestseller, A Man without a Country.
