“Another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance”: First Edition of Kurt Vonnegut's Hocus Pocus
First edition of "Vonnegut's best novel in years-funny and prophetic...something special" (The Nation). Octavo, original half cloth, yellow endpapers. Very good in a very good dust jacket. Jacket design by Paul Bacon.
Hocus Pocus, published in 1990, is one of Kurt Vonnegut’s late novels, narrated from prison by Eugene Debs Hartke, a Vietnam veteran turned college professor turned prison teacher who looks back on war, class, and American decline as the century closes. Written in Vonnegut’s characteristic fragmentary style, assembled by its narrator on scraps of paper of varying size, it renews the mordant satire and humane pessimism that made him one of the most beloved American writers of the postwar era. Vonnegut, the author of Slaughterhouse-Five, Cat’s Cradle, and Breakfast of Champions, remains among the most widely read and influential novelists of the twentieth century.
