NY, HRW, (1965). Vonnegut's sixth book, one of the novels that began earning him a small but passionate following in the mid-1960s, before his breakthrough to the status of "major author," which came when Slaughterhouse-Five was published. Signed by the author with a self-caricature. He has fewer lines around his eye in this drawing than is usual: he almost looks happy. A fine copy in a near fine dust jacket with short edge tears to the spine folds. In custom clamshell case. [#027306] SOLD
