Bagombo Snuff Box by Kurt Vonnegut
3.0
Bagombo Snuff Box is a collection of early Vonnegut short stories. Most were originally published in magazines, most are not science fiction, and most, as Vonnegut himself freely admits, are not his best work. Kurt was still learning his craft during these stories, and it shows. If you want to read excellent Vonnegut short stories, go read "Welcome to the Monkey House".
Still, there are enough decent ones (especially in the later half of the collection) to make it worth a read for the Vonnegut completist, as his wit and essential humanity still shine through.
