While Mortals Sleep

<p><i>While Mortals Sleep</i> 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.<br><br>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. <br><br>This collection features an introduction by Dave Eggers.</p>
