About this listen

I had an uncle who left his hometown and the family business there to become a fine actor. His talent was a minor one, but a pretty one. It lasted for 15 years and was gone. He came home with the ashes of it and died 20 years later, poor and, as it happened, drunk.

Previously unpublished, brilliant and deeply personal, Sinbad is Kurt Vonnegut's story of a young man who decides, against the wishes of his family, to leave home to pursue life as a painter. The result is a picaresque as bizarre and imaginative as any of Vonnegut's most beloved stories.

Great story, as is typical of a great writer. Although it feels like it was unfinished or hastily ended, like a chapter was missing in the story towards the end, still a great short read for a car ride!
