and often scath¬
ing, the fiction of Kurt Vonnegut influenced a genera¬
tion of American writers—including Dave Eggers,
author of this volume s Foreword. In these previously
unpublished gems, Vonnegut s originality infuses a
unique landscape of factories, trailers, and bars—and
characters who pit their dreams and fears against a
cruel and sometimes comically indifferent world.
Here are stories of men and machines, art and
artiñce,
and how ideals of fortune, fame, and love take
curious twists in ordinary lives. An ambitious builder
of roads, commanding an army of bulldozers, graders,
and asphalt spreaders, fritters away his free time with
miniature trains—until the women in his life crash his
fantasy land. Trapped in a stenography pool, a young
dreamer receives a call from a robber on the run, who
presents her with a strange proposition. A crusty
newspaperman is forced onto a committee to judge
Christmas displays—a job that leads him to a suspi¬
ciously ostentatious ex-con and then a miracle. A hog
farmer s widow receives cryptic, unsolicited letters
from a man in Schenectady about the indefinable
sweet aches of the spirit. But what will she find when
she goes to meet him in the flesh?
These beautifully rendered works are a testa¬
ment to Vonnegut s unique blend of observation and
imagination. Like a present left behind by a departed
loved one, While Mortals Sleep bestows upon us a
shimmering Kurt Vonnegut gift: a poignant reflection.
of our world as it is and as it could be.
