About this audiobook

Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. himself reads from his most celebrated works: Breakfast of Champions, Cat's Cradle, Slaughterhouse-Five, and three complete stories from Welcome to the Monkey House.

Ratings and reviews

The stories are wonderful and there was something lost in production. This collection is great to wet your Vonnegut palate or cliff notes some nostalgia. The stories are abridged in a way that is slightly hard to follow, but seems to tell it's own story when taken as a whole.

The chapters have NO INFORMATION about which book he's reading from. I couldn't even listen because I don't know which book I'm listening to! VERY DISAPPOINTED

About the author

Kurt Vonnegut was a master of contemporary American Literature. His black humor, satiric voice, and incomparable imagination first captured America's attention in The Siren's of Titan in 1959 and established him as "a true artist" with Cat's Cradle in 1963. He was, as Graham Greene has declared, "one of the best living American writers."
