Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Edith Vonnegut, Julian De Narvaez (illustrator). First Edition/First Printing. A square solid tight clean unread unused copy still in original publisher's shrinkwrap. Slaughterhouse-Five is the story of Billy Pilgrim, a World War II veteran and POW who becomes "unstuck in time," experiencing all known events of his chronology out of order and sometimes simultaneously. Traumatized by the bombing of Dresden, Pilgrim drifts through all events and history-sometimes deeply implicated, sometimes a witness-as he struggles to find purpose, order, or meaning to his own existence and to that of humanity. Published on March 31, 1969, Slaughterhouse-Five, or, The Children's Crusade: A Duty-Dance with Death is the result of what Kurt Vonnegut described as a twenty-three-year struggle to write a book about what he had witnessed as an American prisoner of war. It combines historical fiction, science fiction, autobiography, and satire in an account of the life of Billy Pilgrim, a barber's son turned draftee turned optometrist turned alien abductee. Billy experiences the destruction of Dresden as a POW, much like Vonnegut did. Unlike Vonnegut, he experiences time travel, or coming "unstuck in time." An instant bestseller, Slaughterhouse-Five made Kurt Vonnegut a cult hero in American literature, a reputation that only strengthened over time, despite the book being banned and censored by some libraries and schools for content and language. But it was precisely those elements of Vonnegut's writing-the political edginess, the genre-bending inventiveness, the frank violence, the transgressive wit-that have inspired generations of readers not just to look differently at the world around them but to find the confidence to say something about it. In 2019, The New Yorker wrote, "Vonnegut's novel is about that, about the inevitability of human violence, and about what it does to the not particularly violent human beings who get caught up in it." Slaughterhouse-Five remained on the New York Times bestseller list for a total of sixteen weeks. The novel was a finalist for the National Book Award, and it was nominated for both the Nebula and Hugo. The Artist edition is limited to 1000 copies, and is the only edition to feature a wraparound dust jacket illustrated by Julian De Narvaez. It is a full cloth, smyth sewn binding with a foil blocked cover, and is housed in a slipcase covered in dyed through paper. Endsheets are illustrated and the edition is printed offset on Cougar Natural Vellum paper. It is signed by the artist. THIS COPY IS IN MY POSSESSION AND NORMALLY SHIPS NEXT DAY.

First edition of Vonnegut's masterpiece. Octavo, original blue cloth. Boldly signed by Kurt Vonnegut on the second endpaper. Fine in a near fine price-clipped dust jacket. Jacket design by Paul Bacon. "Slaughterhouse-Five, perhaps Vonnegut's most powerful novel, presents two characters who can see beneath the surface to the tragic realities of human history but make no attempt to bring about change The central event is the destruction of Dresden by bombs and fire storma catastrophe that Vonnegut himself witnessed as a prisoner of war" (Vinson, 1414-15). "Kurt Vonnegut knows all the tricks of the writing game. So he has not even tried to describe the bombing. Instead he has written around it in a highly imaginative, often funny, nearly psychedelic story. The story is sandwiched between an autobiographical introduction and epilogue" (The New York Times). It is the basis for the 1972 film bearing the same name. The screenplay written by Stephen Geller and directed by George Roy Hill. It stars Michael Sacks, Ron Leibman, and Valerie Perrine, and features Eugene Roche, Sharon Gans, Holly Near, and Perry King. Listed by Modern Library as one of the 100 greatest novels of the twentieth century.

Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near fine. First Edition. One of the classic novels of the 1960s, signed with a self-portrait drawing. Vonnegut brings his dark humor to tell?"more or less"?the story of one of the worst moments of World War II, the Dresden firebombing. In the novel, the event is so traumatic that the central character, Billy Pilgrim, becomes unmoored from time and drifts through his life out of chronological order. Also there are space aliens. With the possible exception of the space aliens, Vonnegut lived through the horrors described in the book as a German prisoner of war. "Billy Pilgrim survives the Dresden firestorm as a POW during World War II but subsequently becomes unstuck in time after being kidnapped by Tralfamadorians and caged with a pornographic film star. Thus he learns that everything is fixed and unalterable, and that one simply has to make the best of the few good times one has. A masterpiece, in which Vonnegut penetrated to the heart of the issues developed in his earlier absurdist fabulations. A key work of modern SF."?Barron, Anatomy of Wonder.
