These vignettes of American life draw on Kurt Vonnegut's World War Two experiences and the resolute optimism of the country after the war. Together, they present a poignant and humorous portrayal of an America peopled with overzealous high school band directors and their students (\"Ambitious Sophomore\"), rebellious housewives (\"Custom-Made Bride\") and boasting salesmen (\"Bagombo Snuff Box\"), soldiers misplaced during the war (\"Der Arme Dolmetscher\") and people lost in their own gadget-filled homes (\"The Package\").\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn an era before television, Kurt Vonnegut found a ready and willing audience in the readers of such magazines as Collier's, The Saturday Evening Post, Cosmopolitan, Argosy, and Redbook. These rare, rediscovered tales give us a glimpse into a more innocent America -- and into the developing genius of one of the greatest writers of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45408884392087,"sku":"9780425174463","price":1814.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780425174463.webp?v=1767310730","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/bagombo-snuff-box-uncollected-short-fiction-9780425174463","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
