About This Item
New York: Delacorte Press, 1987. First Printing, First Trade Edition. . Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. Satirist Vonnegut's novel about the abstract expressionism movement in New York City in the late 1940s that revolutionized modern art, as told in the autobiography of Rabo Karabekian, one of the founders of the movement, whose paintings all fell apart due to an unfortunate choice of materials. Text and boards are clean, tight, square; price-clipped dustjacket shows only minimal surface and edgewear.
Synopsis
Kurt Vonnegut ’s black humor, satiric voice, and incomparable imagination first captured America’s attention in The Sirens of Titan in 1959 and established him as “a true artist” ( The New York Times ) with Cat’s Cradle in 1963. He was, as Graham Greene declared, “one of the best living American writers.” Mr. Vonnegut passed away in April 2007.
