Less is More with Vonnegut?

Lou Harry at the Indiana Business Journal  (IBJ) has entered the debate surrounding Vonnegut’s  posthumous short story collection, While Mortals Sleep. Harry makes clear that while he’s very much a fan of Vonnegut’s work, he has “mixed feelings about the Tupac-like influx of posthumous releases”. Harry of course isn’t the first writer to express such misgivings. Deidre Wengen, of PhillyBurbs.com has already suggested she has mixed feelings about While Mortals Sleep.

However, now that While Mortals Sleep has been released in the US (UK readers will have to wait until October to obtain a copy), you can now make up your own mind about the collection of stories. You can also join the debate about the book over on the IBJ website.
