While Mortals Sleep by Kurt Vonnegut

While Mortals Sleep by Kurt Vonnegut

A travelling salesman falls in love a robot, Jenny, a refrigerator with personality. A man plays with his model trains too much until the women in his life decide to take matters into their own hands.

Vonnegut is masterful at quickly sketching a character who you instantly recognise and immeadiately are willing to follow.. no matter the plot, you as the reader know that by the end of the story, you will get somewhere. That Vonnegut will tell you something with candour and clarity -- Dave Eggers
A cool writer, at once throwaway and passionate and very funny * Financial Times *
A satirist with a heart, a moralist with a whoopee cushion, a cynic who wants to believe -- Jay McInerney
Unimitative and inimitable social satirist * Harper's *
A laughing prophet of doom * New York Times *
