Subtitle: The First and Last Works Author: Kurt Vonnegut Publisher: Vanguard Press () ISBN-10: ISBN-13: Condition: Very Good Binding: Hardcover with dust jacket Pages: 161 Dimensions: 21.5 x 14.7 x 1.9 cm +++ by Kurt Vonnegut +++ Called our finest black-humorist by The Atlantic Monthly, Kurt Vonnegut was one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. Now his first and last works come together for the first time in print. Written to be sold under the pseudonym of Mark Harvey, Basic Training was never published in Vonnegut’s lifetime. When Vonnegut passed away in , he left his last novel unfinished; Entitled If God Were Alive Today, this last work is a brutal satire on societal ignorance and its carefree denial of the world’s major problems.   A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers. The group started thirty years ago with one store in the quirky suburb of Yeoville and has grown through the years to a total of five shops, plus our online sales. Bookdealers is well-known for its collectable and used books. We also have a large variety of remaindered books sourced from around the world.  If you collect from one of our five branches there is no delivery charge. We also offer postal delivery (when available) and courier delivery, subject to a quote.
