Mass Market Paperback. Condition: Good. 1st Printing. First printing. A few light creases and two minor chips to wrappers. Pages clean and unmarked. 1975 Mass Market Paperback. 204 pp. A pseudonymous novel by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., using the name of one of his famous characters. "Venus on the Half-Shell is a science fiction novel by American writer Philip Jose Farmer, writing pseudonymously as "Kilgore Trout", a fictional recurring character in many of the novels of Kurt Vonnegut. This book first appeared as a lengthy fictitious "excerpt" - written by Vonnegut, but attributed to Trout - in Vonnegut's God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater (1965). With Vonnegut's permission, Farmer expanded the fragment into an entire standalone novel (including, as an in-joke, a scene that incorporates all of Vonnegut's original text). Farmer's story was first published in two parts beginning in the December 1974 issue of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. The plot, in which Earth is destroyed by cosmic bureaucrats doing routine maintenance and the sole human survivor goes on a quest to find the "Definitive Answer to the Ultimate Question," was paid homage by the later Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series.
