description: Before the Golden Age of magazines drew to a close halt a century ago, a young PR man at General Electric sold his first short story to one of the doomed publications. By the time he'd sold his third, he decided to quit GE and join the likes of Hemingway and Fitzgerald and try to make a living at $1,500 a pop. With four major magazines running five stories each week and smaller ones scouting as well, it was a seller's market and Kurt Vonnegut was published regularly. For this unusual collection Vonnegut has selected 24 of his stories never published before in book form.Bagombo Snuff Box, the missing pieces of the master's oeuvre, is a ready-made classic for Vonnegut fans new and old.Contents:- Thanasphere- Mnemonics- Any Reasonable Offer- The Package- The No-Talent Kid﻿- Poor Little Rich Town- Souvenir- The Cruise of The Jolly Roger- Custom-Made Bride- Ambitious Sophomore- Bagombo Snuff Box- The Powder-Blue Dragon- A Present for Big Saint Nick- Unpaid Consultant- Der Arme Dolmetscher- The Boy Who Hated Girls- This Son of Mine- A Night for Love- Find Me a Dream- Runaways- 2BR02B- Lovers Anonymous- Hal Irwin’s Magic Lamp
