Delacorte Press has assembled a collection of previously unpublished short stories by the late Kurt Vonnegut, which will include illustrations by the author, for publication in November 2009. The publisher has plans for a second collection of unpublished Vonnegut “writings” and a book of correspondence to and from the author. They also have acquired a follow-up memoir by the author’s son, pediatrician Mark Vonnegut. Bantam Dell editor-in-chief Nit Taublib and editor Kerri Buckley are credited in the announcement as having “put the collection together, often comparing and contrasting many annotated drafts of individual stories.”
