Volume collects twenty-three stories (three of them revised), hitherto unpublished in book format, plus Vonnegut's introduction and afterword entitled "Coda to My Career as a Writer for Periodicals". Originally printed during the golden age of short story publishing – in the pre-television era – in magazines such as Cosmopolitan, The Saturday Evening Post, Collier's and Argosy. The title story, "Bagombo Snuff Box", was adapted into a short film by Igor Stanojević in 2010. Titled Čovek iz Bagomba or The Man from Bagombo, it stars Dragan Jovanović and Gala Videnović. "These tales are worth reading; with the other early stories in Welcome to the Monkey House, they provide fans with the complete test-tube Vonnegut." –Entertainment Weekly
