A Collection of Modern Fairy Tales
They Both
Loved Vonnegut
They Both Love Vonnegut takes a pointed look at modern society with ten fables that expose the emptiness and ambiguity of the institutions, customs, and relationships that we too often leave unexamined.
Featuring a legendary leviathan of the Mississippi, an inebriated blue fairy, and an overly polite girl who gets unwanted advice from Baby Jesus, readers will be equal parts entertained and intrigued by these wholly original fairy tales for the 21st century.
REVIEWS
Une belle collection d'histoires et très bien écrites. J'ai particulièrement aimé The Man Who Tasted Dirt et Big Fish. Il y avait un bon équilibre d'humour, je me senti proche à les personnages auxquels on pouvait s'intéresser. Félicitations.

You should read this book. It uses the expression “socially retarded” twice (and I’m not sure you are allowed to say that these days. It might get banned like Catcher in the Rye or Harry Potter).
Falco Peregrinus
This is not a book for the Pleasure Readers, the Mass Consumers, the National Enquirers, the Fan Fictionalists, or any order of the feint of heart.
