<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Featuring 'Building the monkey house' by Gregory D. Sumner."<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Since its original publication in 1968, <i>Welcome to the Monkey House</i> 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,"<i> </i>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. <p/><b>Includes the following stories: </b> <p/>"Where I Live"<br>"Harrison Bergeron"<br>"Who Am I This Time?"<br>"Welcome to the Monkey House"<br>"Long Walk to Forever"<br>"The Foster Portfolio"<br>"Miss Temptation"<br>"All the King's Horses"<br>"Tom Edison's Shaggy Dog"<br>"New Dictionary"<br>"Next Door"<br>"More Stately Mansions"<br>"The Hyannis Port Story"<br>"D.P."<br>"Report on the Barnhouse Effect"<br>"The Euphio Question"<br>"Go Back to Your Precious Wife and Son"<br>"Deer in the Works"<br>"The Lie"<br>"Unready to Wear"<br>"The Kid Nobody Could Handle"<br>"The Manned Missiles"<br>"Epicac"<br>"Adam"<br>"Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow"<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for Kurt Vonnegut</b> <p/> "Kurt Vonnegut is, in my view, the great, urgent passionate American writer of our century."<b>--George Saunders</b> <p/> "Vonnegut's fiction itches to seize the human truth by its large handles."<b>--John Updike</b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Kurt Vonnegut</b>'s black humor, satiric voice, and incomparable imagination first captured America's attention in <i>The Sirens of Titan</i> in 1959 and established him as "a true artist" (<i>The New York Times</i>) with<i> Cat's Cradle</i> in 1963.
