"I lost my original edition and had to have it back. I bought an extra copy for my kids. Some of these stories had a profound effect on the college me in or around 1970. I was always impressed by how much emotion a good writer can convey with a few choice words. For anyone who wants to see a story from the collection done live, pick up a copy of "Who Am I This Time" after reading the story. You can see Susan Sarandon and Christopher Walken knock it out of the park." - Amazon Customer Reviews

A diabolical government asserts control by eliminating orgasms from sex in the title story of Welcome to the Monkey House - setting the tone for a collection shot through with Vonnegut's acrid wit, and his bewilderment at the corruption of humanity.

From riffs on country music, George Bush, and his mother's midnight mania, to a bittersweet tribute to a dead friend, Palm Sunday demonstrates why Kurt Vonnegut is equally well known as an essayist and commentator as he is a novelist.

This caustic, funny and poignant collection resonates with Vonnegut's singular voice.
