Look at the Birdie

Look at the Birdie collects 14 short stories from an original writer in American fiction. This series of vignettes, never published in Vonnegut’s lifetime, reveals a warm, wise & funny portrait of life in post–WWII America--a world where squabbling couples, high school geniuses, misfit office workers & small-town lotharios struggle to adapt to changing technology, moral ambiguity & unprecedented affluence. Featuring a Foreword by author & longtime Vonnegut confidant Sidney Offit, Look at the Birdie is for readers who thought that Vonnegut’s voice had been stilled forever & introduces his short fiction to any who have yet to experience it.
