Sirens of Titan

Boston & Cambridge: Houghton Mifflin and Co.. Boston & Cambridge, Houghton Mifflin and Co., 1961. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A very good book in a near fine jacket. "you read it for the first time and you think it's very loosely, casually written. You think the fact that everything suddenly makes such good sense at the end is almost accidental. And then you rear it a few more times, simultaneously finding out more about writing yourself, and you realise what an absolute tour de force it was, making something as beautifully honed as that appear so casual." [Douglas Adams]. Some bumping to the spine tips and a little foxing to the top edge and jacket flaps. Some spots to the endpapers. Front hinge professionally repaired. Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007) is one of those rare writers bridging the gap between literary fiction and science fiction. He's best remembered for Slaughterhouse Five, along with Cat's Cradle and The Sirens of Titan. [11437, Hyraxia Books]. . Very Good. Hardback. 1st Edition. 1961.
