Bagombo Snuff Box
A Literary Fiction Short Story Collection by Kurt Vonnegut
Subgenres:
- Short Stories,
- World War II,
- Postwar America
This book is for you if you're into...
- Vintage short stories capturing postwar American optimism and quirks
- Offbeat characters like overzealous band directors and rebellious housewives
- Snapshots of pre-television life with humor and poignancy
From the acclaimed author of Slaughterhouse-Five, Cat's Cradle, and Breakfast of Champions comes a compilation of twenty-three never-before-collected short stories.
These vignettes of American life draw on Kurt Vonnegut's World War 2 experiences and the resolute optimism of the country after the war.
Together, they present a poignant and humorous portrayal of an America peopled with overzealous high school band directors and their students, rebellious housewives, and boasting salesmen, soldiers misplaced during the war and people lost in their own gadget-filled homes.
In an era before television, Kurt Vonnegut found a ready and willing audience in the readers of such magazines as Collier's, The Saturday Evening Post, Cosmopolitan, Argosy, and Redbook.
These rare, rediscovered tales gives us a glimpse into a more innocent America—and into the developing genius of one of the greatest writers of our time.
