Delacorte Press
, New York, United States
A fairly common example of one of the author's later novels. Kurt Vonnegut (1922 - 2007) was an American author known for his satirical and darkly humorous novels written over a period of fifty-plus years together with many short stories, plays and non fiction works that have also been released posthumously. This is a well-loved copy of a story about humanity remnants on a small imaginary island in a post-apocalyptic world.
