Synopsis These 25 short stories form Kurt Vonnegut Jr. (mostly published in the 1950s and '60s) feature the wildly imaginative and fiercely satiric style that made Vonnegut one of the most recognizable and popular voices of late 20th-century fiction. The title story features a dystopian future where overpopulation is rampant and the government has implemented a policy of Suicide Parlors and libido-reducing pills--a policy fought by the revolutionary Casanova called Billy the Poet.
