List of Uncollected Reviews

Beginning in the 1960s with the demise of the short story market, Vonnegut began writing non-fiction articles, such as book and film reviews which continued until 1990, although they became rarer after the success of Slaughterhouse-Five. Several of these were never collected in any Vonnegut work.
