Synopsis
LOOK AT THE BIRDIE contains 14 previously unpublished short stories by the late, great, satirist Kurt Vonnegut Jr. Drawn mostly from the early years of his writing career, these stories contain the first strains of Vonnegut's unforgettable style: absurdity, surrealist and science-fiction elements, and a keen understanding of humanity's foibles and follies.

Publisher's Note
A volume of fourteen early and previously unpublished short works by the social satirist author of Slaughterhouse Five offers insight into his developing literary style and includes pieces that explore such themes as innocence, ironic twists of fate, and morality.

Industry reviews
"The 14 stories in LOOK AT THE BIRDIE, none of them afraid to entertain, dabble in whodunnitry, science fiction and commanding fables of good versus evil. Why these stories went unpublished is hard to answer. They're polished, they're relentlessly fun to read, and every last one of them comes to a neat and satisfying end. For transmittal of moral instruction, they are incredibly efficient delivery devices."
 (11/01/2009)

"[T]here are a few standouts....The other stories are melodramas, shaggy-dog stories, warnings about the dangers of Stalinism and home-grown fascism. Some don't really work, some do. As usual with this kind of posthumous book, it's likely to be of interest mostly to those devoted to reading every word the author wrote."

  • Bringing together 14 previously unpublished short stories by the late Kurt Vonnegut, Look at the Birdie is an unparalleled look into the early mind of the man who would go on to change the literary landscape forever. Written just as the Slaughterhouse-Five author was starting to find his comic voice, these long-buried feasts feature tales both cautionary and hopeful, from a family that foolishly confides its deepest secrets into a magical invention to a quack psychiatrist who concocts a novel new outlet for his paranoid patients. An unexpected gift for readers who thought Vonnegut’s unique voice had been stilled forever, this beautiful volume comes illustrated with a number of the author’s characteristically insouciant line drawings.
