Kurt Vonnegut: Novels & Stories 1950-1962 (Loa #226)

Before winning international fame, Vonnegut was a master of the drugstore paperback and the popular short story. This authoritative collection of his brilliant early work display his matchless talent for hilarious invention and caustic social criticism.

Sidney Offit, editor of The Library of America's four-volume Kurt Vonnegut edition, has written novels, books for young readers, and memoirs including, most recently, Friends, Writers, and Other Countrymen. He was senior editor of Intellectual Digest, book editor of Politics Today, and contributing editor of Baseball Magazine. He wrote the foreword to Look at the Birdie, a collection of Kurt Vonnegut's unpublished short fiction.
