Est: $800 - $1,200
Vonnegut, Kurt, Jr. (1922-2007). Slaughterhouse-Five or The Children's Crusade. New York: A Seymour Lawrence Book / Delacorte Press, 1969. 8vo. Original turquoise cloth stamped in gilt, black, and red (some spotting to covers near top edge); dust jacket (light toning to spine and extremities). FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING of Vonnegut's scathing anti-war classic, based on his own experiences as a POW who survived the Allied bombing of Dresden in 1945. IN THE FIRST STATE DUST JACKET priced $5.95 and with the correct code of 0369 at the foot of the rear flap. Based on Vonnegut's own experiences as a POW who survived the Allied bombing of Dresden in 1945, Slaughterhouse-Five was Vonnegut's first bestseller. Almost immediately upon publication, it became one of the most frequently challenged books in the United States public school system. In a landmark 1982 ruling brought before the Supreme Court over the book's removal from a public school, the Court declared that "local school boards may not remove books from school library shelves simply because they dislike the ideas contained in those books and seek by their removal to 'prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion'." Despite this, the book remains one of the most banned books in the United States. Currey, p.504; 100 Banned Books pp.133-141. This lot is located in Chicago.

FIRST EDITION OF VONNEGUT'S FIRST BOOK, FIRST PRINTING with "A" and Scribner's seal on copyright page.

Drawing in part on Vonnegut’s experiences working at General Electric, the book blends satirical humor with sharp social criticism, anticipating later debates about technological unemployment and the human cost of mechanization.

Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007) American, Artists Proof Silkscreen Print. Depicts the artist's self-portrait in his personal cartoonish style, with a signature in the print itself bottom right and hand signed by the author below it in red pencil. "A/P" written in red pencil bottom left. Embossed with "Midway College" watermark at the bottommost left edge. Framed. "Portrait #3" A/P written on the back in black pencil. Overall Size: 16 3/4 x 25 1/4 in. Sight Size: 12 1/2 x 17 3/4 in. Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007) was a renowned American author celebrated for his unique blend of satirical, humanist, and science fiction literature. Born in Indianapolis, his life and writing were profoundly shaped by his experience as a World War II prisoner of war in Dresden, Germany. He published 14 novels, including the influential Slaughterhouse-Five which resonated with the anti-war sentiment of the country during the Vietnam Era, and most of his stories explored themes of conflict, free will, and the human condition through his own unique lens of science fiction, historical commentary, fantasy, and magic realism. After early careers in journalism and public relations, he gained fame for his dark humor and distinct, conversational writing style. When Vonnegut passed away in 2007 he left behind a lasting legacy as one of the 20th Century’s most iconic writers, with collections, plays, and non-fiction works published both before and after his death.

Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. Author's Album Containing Retained Copies of Letters. January 1951-June 1956.
Est: $8,000 - $10,000
Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (1922-2007) Author's Album Containing Retained Copies of Letters. January 1951-June 1956. Folio format Elbe file binder containing an alphabetized handwritten table with entries in Vonnegut's hand in pencil; approximately 369 typed carbons of letters written by Vonnegut and sent to prospective publishers, friends, family, associates and other contacts; with carbons of a few handwritten letters; a few letters with pencil notes or sketches added, sometimes a carbon of his signature; content is quite interesting, including Vonnegut's notes on editing, autobiographical notes; prospective work and publishing opportunities; proposals for technical writing projects; a request to the University of Chicago for his college transcript; job applications; personal letters, and much more; letters written from his address on Scudder Lane in West Barnstable, Massachusetts; Osterville, MA; Provincetown, MA; and Alplaus, NY; some letters without originating address; each sheet a standard 8 1/2 x 11 in., all held together in a clothbound commercial binder; several of Vonnegut's distinctive doodles of people are sketched in his hand inside the front and back boards of the binder, on the covers of the alphabetical index, and elsewhere; 9 x 11 in. This collection of retained correspondence was given by Vonnegut to a friend from Cape Cod. The letters begin the moment Vonnegut quit his full-time job at General Electric as a technical writer. The plan was to earn a living as a freelance writer, a shocking plan. His first novel, Player Piano, came out during this period, and Vonnegut lists 24 letters in his index that relate to this work. They begin at letter 84, in which Vonnegut thanks his Scribner's editor Harry Brague for the opportunity and lists several editorial notes including: "The book would be better if it ended with Chapter XXXVI. There was a strong feeling before, you'll remember, for summing up beyond the revolution. However, in the revision process I think I strengthened XXXVI and the build-up to it enough to make the climax at the end of XXXVI adequate and neat. Three cheers for pessimism." In letter 100, he provides feedback to Brague on the proof-read galleys of the novel. Years later, in June of 1954, after Player Piano showed itself to be something of a disappointment he writes to Julien Dedman at Scribner's, "Gee, what a swell boost your letter was. Three days ago, Harry Brague wrote to say Player Piano was being junked. Now you make it easy for me to rationalize the disaster in terms of pearls before swine." We see Vonnegut in these letters very busy writing short stories and doing his best to get gigs writing for television and to land technical writing assignments. In one of the letters, to Collier's editor Knox Burger (letter 210), he lists 26 stories he's sold, saying, "It makes me feel kind of naked to do this." As Vonnegut's correspondence in this critical period was scattered to the winds, an assemblage of his outgoing epistolary output from this time (as retained by him), provides key professional and personal details about his life and work more than a decade before the success of Slaughterhouse Five.

Encapsulated and PSA/DNA certified and graded GEM MT 10. The bookplate has not been used; two adhesive panels verso are untouched. A minor paper clip impression is visible only verso, else nearly pristine. The bookplate measures 3" x 4" while the slab measures 4.125" x 7.25." Over the course of his 50-year-long writing career, Kurt Vonnegut explored the limits of autobiography, fantasy, and mixed literary genres. His short stories, novels, plays, and works of non-fiction were unexpectedly original, strange, and often darkly humorous. Vonnegut's novel "Slaughterhouse-Five," which is a science fictional twist on the author's real-life experiences as a prisoner of war in World War II Dresden, was nominated for the Hugo Award, but has also been banned by some school systems. This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.

Signed by the artist in pencil on lower right. An embossed printers mark on lower right corner of paper. Signed in pencil by none other than Kurt Vonnegut Jr. and featured in Vonnegut's Discover Card advertisement on television, "Helen" is a wonderfully abstract visage of a woman with mesmerizing, large eyes, a proud nose, and full heart-shaped lips topped by a short coiffure and extending from a long, slender neck - all in a striking color palette of peach, sienna, black, and white. Although best known for his literature, Vonnegut was also an accomplished visual artist who specialized in abstract faces delineated in a bold color palette. Size: 13.25" W x 22.25" H (33.7 cm x 56.5 cm); 18.625" W x 23" H (47.3 cm x 58.4 cm) with mat When invited to enter an exhibition featuring artwork by authors, in the esteemed company of Norman Mailer and Tennessee Williams, Vonnegut said, "I've drawn all my life, on the edges of manuscripts and things like that. But I started thinking, 'This is the amateur approach.' ...So I decided to take myself seriously as an artist... My father was an artist, my grandfather was an artist, and I have three children who are accomplished artists."
