While Mortals Sleep by Kurt Vonnegut

In the foreward, Dave Eggers writes: "I've been an avid reader of Vonnegut since I was a teenager, but it wasn't until I read these last two posthumous collections of stories, While Mortals Sleep and Look at the Birdie, that I've realized just how strong a moralist Vonnegut was. I knew that as a man and as an essayist, he was not shy about making his opinions known."
These short stories which were written early in his career, called mousetrap stories, trick the reader by using the characters, the setting and the plot to further the action until the reader is caught in the final moral outcome.  You can find this book in our new fiction section.
