NATIONAL BESTSELLER - Foreword by Dave Eggers
These previously unpublished, beautifully rendered works of fiction are a testament to Kurt Vonnegut's unique blend of observation and imagination. Here are stories of men and machines, art and artifice, and how ideals of fortune, fame, and love take curious twists in ordinary lives. An ambitious builder of roads fritters away his free time with miniature trains--until the women in his life crash his fantasy land. Trapped in a stenography pool, a young dreamer receives a call from a robber on the run, who presents her with a strange proposition. A crusty newspaperman is forced onto a committee to judge Christmas displays--a job that leads him to a suspiciously ostentatious ex-con and then a miracle. Featuring a Foreword by Dave Eggers, While Mortals Sleep is a poignant reflection of our world as it is and as it could be. Includes the following stories: "Jenny""The Epizootic"
"Hundred-Dollar Kisses"
"Guardian of the Person"
"With His Hand on the Throttle"
"Girl Pool"
"Ruth"
"While Mortals Sleep"
"Out, Brief Candle"
"Tango"
"Bomar"
"The Man Without No Kiddleys"
"Mr. Z"
"$10,000 a Year, Easy"
"Money Talks"
"The Humbugs" Praise for While Mortals Sleep "Immensely readable and thoroughly entertaining."--The Washington Post "Taut, concise . . . The stories set themselves up with neat swiftness, proceed at a clip, and shut down with equal speed, showing Vonnegut] honing his skills in structure and satire."--Los Angeles Times "A lovely reminder of the mischievous moral voice we lost when we lost Kurt Vonnegut."--San Francisco Chronicle
"These stories were all good when they were written decades ago, but many strike me as great now. Never has the voice of Kurt Vonnegut, humanist and humorist, been more relevant."--The Seattle Times "There's something distinctly timeless about Vonnegut's vision."--Minneapolis Star-Tribune

blends in with decor and is very functional
This Havara Kitchen Soap Dispenser looks great on my kitchen sink. Not only does it look good, it's also very functional. Filling the soap dispenser is very easy and straight forward. It fits my sponges well. It's a bit heavier than expected, but this allows it to stay in place easier. Overall, it's very sturdy and functional. Great value for the money.

Quality shears for a great price
Color: Black, Size: 1 Pack
These KitchenAid All Purpose Shears are exactly as described--versatile, comfortable to hold, easy to use, and very sharp, so it's good that they come with a protective sheath! The stainless steel holds up (even when I forgot to take them out of the dishwater one day), and makes them easy to clean, nothing seems to stick to them for long. They're perfect for opening just about any package without tearing it, even the double-thickness of pet food bags. The price was a great value, and even though I doubt I'll need another pair anytime soon, I definitely recommend them to everyone.

Buy Em'
Color: Black, Size: 2 Pack
Great value for the price. Straightforward, sharp, easy to clean, good quality pair of kitchen/multi-function shears. So far, I have effortlessly cut thru herbs, dog chew treats, corrugated, and plastic packaging with very little resistance. The handles are wide which allow for comfortable ambidextrous grip. The first thing you'll notice is their weight, they do not feel cheaply made.

Super Handy Kitchen Scissors I Use All the Time
Color: Black, Size: 1 Pack, Color: Black, Size: 1 Pack
I didn’t realize how much I needed a good pair of kitchen shears until I got these. Now I use them almost every day. 😄
They’re nice and sharp and cut through everything easily—packaging, herbs, meat, even opening stubborn bags. It just makes little kitchen tasks so much quicker.
The handle is comfortable to hold, even if I’m using them for a bit, and they feel sturdy without being too heavy. I also really like that they come with a protective sheath, so I can store them safely in the drawer.
Cleaning is easy too—I’ve put them in the dishwasher a few times with no issues so far.
Nothing fancy, but very practical and reliable. If you cook at home a lot, these are definitely worth having around. ✂️💛
