While Mortals Sleep (Vintage Classics)

A collection of sixteen previously unpublished stories by the twentieth century master. In WHILE MORTALS SLEEP, machines, art and artifice, fortune and fame become curiously twisted. A travelling salesman falls in love a robot, Jenny, a refrigerator with personality. A man plays with his model trains too much until the women in his life decide to take matters into their own hands. In the title story, a hard-nosed reporter is called upon to judge the annual Christmas lights competition - a job that leads him to learn something about the true meaning of Christmas.
