One for the good guys

In the October 29 New York Times, Dave Eggars gives us a loving review of "Look at the Birdie," a collection of previously unpublished short stories by the late, great Kurt Vonnegut. A joyous read for those, like me, who also looked to Vonnegut as "our sage and chain-smoking truth-teller." The review will particularly reward that subset of readers that prizes the canny and ascendant writing of the American Mid-Century.
