VONNEGUT, Kurt, Jr.

Slaughterhouse-Five

First edition. Very modest sunning to the edges of the boards, and thus very near fine in a slightly spine-toned, near fine dustwrapper. Signed by the author on the half-title with a self-portrait. A very nice copy of the author's best-known title, with a pleasant self-portrait. A splendid blend of history, humor, and fantasy in the story of optometrist Billy Pilgrim, survivor of the firebombing of Dresden, unstuck in time and living an alternate life on the planet Tralfamadore. Basis for George Roy Hill's 1972 film that managed to make a good movie out of a virtually unfilmable novel.
