Description

While Mortals Sleep is a thought-provoking collection of stories from a master of American fiction. Written in the early years of his career, these tightly plotted tales are infused with Vonnegut's unique blend of observation, imagination and dark humour.

Set in a world where men and machines, art and artifice, fame and fortune become curiously intertwined, these stories pit characters' dreams and fears against a cruel and comically indifferent world. With a distinctive voice and a keen eye for the human condition, Vonnegut's writing is both scathing and insightful.

Originally unpublished, these stories have been introduced by Dave Eggers, providing a fresh perspective on Vonnegut's work. This collection is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the works of one of America's most original writers.
