Look at the Birdie is a collection of fourteen previously unpublished short stories from one of the most original writers in all of American fiction. In this series of perfectly rendered vignettes, written just as he was starting to find his comic voice, Kurt Vonnegut paints a warm, wise, and funny portrait of life in post--World War II America-a world where squabbling couples, high school geniuses, misfit office workers, and small-town lotharios struggle to adapt to changing technology, moral ambiguity, and unprecedented affluence. Here are tales both cautionary and hopeful, each brimming with Vonnegut's trademark humor and profound humanism. A family learns the downside of confiding their deepest secrets into a magical invention. A man finds himself in a Kafkaesque world of trouble after he runs afoul of the shady underworld boss who calls the shots in an upstate New York town. A quack psychiatrist turned "murder counselor" concocts a novel new outlet for his paranoid patients. While these stories reflect the anxieties of the postwar era that Vonnegut was so adept at capturing- and provide insight into the development of his early style-collectively, they have a timeless quality that makes them just as relevant today as when they were written. It's impossible to imagine any of these pieces flowing from the pen of another writer; each in its own way is unmistakably, quintessentially Vonnegut. Featuring a Foreword by author and longtime Vonnegut confidant Sidney Offit and illustrated with Vonnegut' s characteristically insouciant line drawings, Look at the Birdie is an unexpected gift for readers who thought his unique voice had been stilled forever-and serves as a terrific introduction to his short fiction for anyone who has yet to experience his genius. Read "Hello, Red" and "The Petrified Ants," two of the stories from the collection, as single-story e-books before Look at the Birdie goes on sale. Available wherever e-books are sold.

评分无意中看到这本书,然后买回来看完了。 之前看介绍,有些不明白什么是黑色幽默。直到后记里,“冯内古特说,面对恐惧和灾难,有一种东西叫做没有笑声的玩笑……”一如书中文章反映出的内容一样深刻。 也许因为顺序原因,印象最深的是《一个报童的名誉》和《宇宙之尊》。外表、...
评分冯内古特是位黑色幽默的作家,他的死也很黑色幽默,他曾说,在所有死亡的方式中,他更喜欢在飞机坠亡时葬身乞力马扎罗山的峰顶。但是他最后是从楼梯上摔下,导致脑部受伤而死。愿这位伟大作家安息。 读他的短篇小说,别有一番情趣。
