While Mortals Sleep

 While Mortals Sleep is the third and probably final book published of Kurt Vonnegut's after his death. This is a book of 15 short stories. Many of the stories are set in Indiana where he was born. One particularly funny story was about a married man who loved to tinker with his model trains. He has a friend over and they are talking trains. His mother advises him to come up and eat. He says he will be right up but he works on his trains a few more hours. His wife is amazingly patient about him. The next night his mother says he should take his wife out to eat. When he refuses to leave his trains on this night his mother goes out shopping. She comes back with a model plane and she destroys his train set. She goes back upstairs. The man and his friend realize that what they have now looks like a war scene. Now they make plans to reenact war scenes with model planes and model trains.  Most of the chapters start out with one of his drawings. He draws like Picasso. Vonnegut was a creative person with words and with art.
