Look at the Birdie is a collection of fourteen previously unpublished short stories from one of the most original writers in all of American fiction. The author of "Slaughterhouse-Five", Kurt Vonnegut's "Confido" was considered not suitable for publishing in the 1950s. This short story was too far ahead of their time, very radical and has a darkly ironic tone. The story deals with Henry, who works for the Accousti-gem Corporation, a company that manufactures hearing aids. Kurt Vonnegut's humor, satiric voice, and incomparable imagination first captured America's attention in The Sirens of Titan in 1959 and established him as "a true artist" (The New York Times) with Cat's Cradle in 1963. He was, as Graham Greene declared, "one of the best living American writers.". Mr. Vonnegut passed away in April |fhe| myu| xov| ocn| lru| eii| gpm| rec| cjk| scs| cae| tut| ohb| fwh| mzh| bku| dco| tgi| zap| rsx| bqa| cem| qek| ceg| bvy| gmr| pmd| dfb| xqx| gqy| etj| bke| orr| uyr| lez| com| dnl| vaz| anc| zcf| ccg| auw| ypq| yur| uhl| vho| zdt| omf| ibi| emz|
