Idoomlás [Timequake]
Budapest, Magyar Konyvklub, (1998). The first Hungarian edition of Vonnegut's final novel. Signed by Vonnegut in the year of publication and further illustrated with a smoking self-caricature on the title page, facing Vonnegut's portrait of Kilgore Trout, which serves as a frontispiece illustration for this edition. The text contains (in the context of the death of John Dillinger) the quote often misattributed to Vonnegut, "If you have a Hungarian for a friend, you don't need an enemy." Fine in pictorial boards, without dust jacket, as issued. In custom slipcase. Probably the only signed Hungarian edition of this title to come on the market, ever, and although Vonnegut was liberal with his self-caricatures, ones that picture him smoking are scarce.
