Pauline Jones paulinejones — I love this story!

Hope Reagan hopereagan — Kurt Vonnegut was unquestionably my favorite author when I was in high school. My most beloved English teacher, the grey-bearded Mr. Hansen (who somewhat resembled an Anglo-Saxon vision of God, if God wore Hawaiian shirts and linen shorts in the summertime), wrote something in my yearbook about how I had a Vonnegut-like sensibility. Nothing could've made me more proud. It's been years since I read anything by the man, though, and when my friend Lauren recommended this collection, I put it on hold at the library right away. I am particularly fond of short stories and deeply adore Welcome to the Monkey House; Lauren said this would be right up my alley. She's right, that girl. How did I manage to allow it to be this long since I last read something from KV? I won't be foolish enough to make that mistake in the future. While I'm not usually enamored of forewords, I particularly enjoyed this one. Dave Eggers sets up the volume, a posthumously printed collection of works KV had published in various magazines and journals, rather brilliantly. His main argument is that the world needs (and is currently lacking) storytellers like KV, who was an unabashedly moral voice. His stories frequently have a very clear moral, he is quite often trying to teach his reader something about what it means to be good or kind or right (or at least not ridiculous and selfish). Eggers argues that the world is full of opinionated people who have a lot to say about right and wrong but the loudest of these voices are usually on the fringe and (my words) somewhat deranged. Story writers, on the other hand, have learned to avoid telling people what is right and wrong, to remain a nonjudgmental voice. And while there's a place for everything, the spot occupied by writers like KV lately remains fairly empty. But on to the stories. Vonnegut has a way of turning ordinary situations extraordinary while still keeping them grounded. Where else would you read a story about a man who travels the country shilling appliances by showing off a custom fridge he built to resemble his ex-wife (complete with blinking eyes, blushing skin, and skills on the dance floor) and come away with a story about the dangers of idolizing our loves and not seeing them for the imperfect people they really are? Goddamnit, Kurt Vonnegut, you've done it again. If you're the sort of person who didn't hate "A Long Walk to Forever," a somewhat romantic and mysteriously divisive story from Welcome to the Monkey House, this is going to be right up your alley, as it was mine.
