We nearly choked on our Breakfast of Champions when we heard Delcorte Press announced they will release 14 previously unpublished short stories from Kurt Vonnegut. The author died in April 2007, but fans can look forward to the new collection Look at the Birdie as well as re-issues of other Vonnegut canon classics like Slaughterhouse-Five and Mother Night.

Look at the Birdie will be released this November. Delacorte is also working on a memoir by Vonnegut’s son, Mark Vonnegut.

[Ed. note: Hey, did I ever tell you about the time I met Kurt Vonnegut ... and made a complete ass of myself?]
