Dial Press Welcome to the Monkey House: Stories

Early short stories from Vonnegut. Always great to read again.

As usual great stuff from Vonnegut, this was brought to rejuvenate my old Vonnegut collection.

Glen Williamson (Google him) has been performing two of these stories for years as a one-man play: "Who Am I This Time?" and "The Kid Nobody Could Handle." "Cheers and congratulations again! Your performance Tuesday evening was truly extraordinary. I feel so fortunate to have been there. I called Kurt [Vonnegut] the next morning and raved about you - then wrote him a note and raved some more." --Sally Forbes, Executive Director, The Beaux Arts Alliance, New York, NY "It was so good to see your [Vonnegut] show, which I enjoyed enormously. The stories were delightful. There was a thread running through both stories - the oddball characters, and the need for imagination to give them their place in the community. I loved your characterizations, and was bubbling with mirth at the end of the "Romeo and Juliet" piece, as was the rest of the audience." -- Andrew Floyd Stroud, England "I attended [The Kid Nobody Could Handle and Who Am I This Time?] with sixth, seventh, eighth graders from both Waldorf and public schools. The children were captivated. The plots and characters seemed to speak to them profoundly. Glen is a very skilled actor. He brought the characters to life beautifully, fleshing out the unique details and idiosyncrasies of each so that we all felt like we knew them well. He is a flexible, versatile actor able to portray an incredible range of characters. It was powerful and memorable. You could hear a pin drop in that auditorium...and that's saying something for middle school kids." -- Jill Wolcott Lake Champlain Waldorf School Shelburne, Vermont
