Kurt Vonnegut Jnr. – Breakfast Of Champions – First Edition 1973
£95.00
A first edition, first printing published by Cape in 1973. A very good (or better) book with a small patch of rippling to the bottom of the front board. In a very good lightly spine faded dust wrapper which is unclipped. A little wear to the corners.
The novel explores the absurdities of human existence and the destructive nature of unchecked capitalism. The story follows Kilgore Trout, a struggling science fiction writer, and Dwayne Hoover, a deranged car dealer who believes he is the only real person in a world of robots. The novel delves into themes of free will, mental illness, and the impact of consumer culture on society. Vonnegut’s unconventional narrative style and illustrations contribute to the book’s unique and thought-provoking commentary on the human condition.
