About this Item

Biscuit cloth with silver spine titling, upper board stamped and blocked with red foil. Issued without dust-jacket. A fine copy. This is a science fiction novel by American writer Philip José Farmer, writing pseudonymously as "Kilgore Trout", a fictional recurring character in many of the novels of Kurt Vonnegut.With Vonnegut's permission, Farmer expanded a fragment by Vonnegut into an entire standalone novel (including, as an in-joke, a scene that incorporates all of Vonnegut's original text). The question of authorship became confused and later editions bear Farmer's name on the title-page.
