FUBAR — Kurt Vonnegut

 The waters of renewal sometimes course through the unlikeliest of settings. In the short story, “FUBAR,” we're taken to a desolate building in a drab industrial complex, where a lonely office worker gains a fresh perspective on life thanks to the intervention of his free-spirited new female assistant.

“FUBAR” and the thirteen other never-before-published pieces that comprise Look at the Birdie serve as an unexpected gift for devoted readers who thought that Kurt Vonnegut's unique voice had been stilled forever�"and provide a terrific introduction to his short fiction for anyone who has yet to experience his genius.
