"A satirist, a keen observer of the follies of mankind and of the hypocrisies of its leaders." --Isaac Asimov

Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. himself reads selections from his most celebrated works.

"Kurt Vonnegut is...a science fiction writer in that he writes of societies different from ours, , of technological capacities we don't yet have, of universes whose rules are other than those of ours. Kurt Vonnegut is also a satirist, a keen observer of the follies of mankind and of the hypocrisies of its leaders....The combination is a powerful one." —Isaac Asimov

The writing of Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., is a genre unto itself, a unique perspective on human folly that combines elements of science fiction, satire and fable. These selections are read by Vonnegut himself in his unmistakably ironic drone and represent the author at his existential best.

Slaughterhouse-Five follows time-tripping Billy Pilgrim from the inferno of World War Two Dresden to an alien zoo on a distant planet—and back again.

Breakfast of Champions, considered by many to be Vonnegut's best work, is both a raucously funny celebration and a sober condemnation of mankind.

Welcome to the Monkey House represents Vonnegut's delightful excursion into the short story, and finally Cat's Cradle, an irreverent end-of-the-world saga replete with cults, midget spies, and purple tornadoes, incorporates all of the author's favorite themes and displays the creative and stylistic genius which has made Vonnegut one of the most widely read and respected writers of our century.
