A selection of the best sci-fi shorts from an American genius of the genre, collected alongside his most personal essays.

A diabolical government asserts control by eliminating orgasms from sex in the title story of Welcome to the Monkey House - setting the tone for a collection shot through with Vonnegut's acrid wit, and his bewilderment at the corruption of humanity.

From riffs on country music, George Bush, and his mother's midnight mania, to a bittersweet tribute to a dead friend, Palm Sunday demonstrates why Kurt Vonnegut is equally well known as an essayist and commentator as he is a novelist.

This caustic, funny and poignant collection resonates with Vonnegut's singular voice.

It's a great, great book" -- Rebecca Romijin-Stamos * Independent * "A brilliant wacky ideas-monger" * Observer *
