Book Description Paperback: 7¾" x 5". Condition: Very Good: Light signs of wear. Cover Art: Peter Elson (illustrator). 1986 Edition. © 1959: A stand-alone novel by Kurt Vonnegut. 1st printing of 1986 edition. Gollancz Classic SF Series #1:- Synopsis: When Winston Niles Rumfoord flies his space craft into a chrono-synclastic infundibulum he is converted into pure energy and only materializes when his waveforms intercept Earth or some other planet. As a result, he only gets home to Newport, Rhode Island, once every fifty-nine days and then only for an hour. But at least, as a consolation, he now knows everything that ever has been and everything that ever will be. He knows, for instance, that his wife is going up to Mars to mate with Malachi Constant, the richest man in te world and the person destined to discover the secret of the universe. (Rumfoord's wife finds this piece of fortune-telling in extremely bad taste). He also knows that on Titan there is an alien from the planet Tralfamadore who has been waiting 200,000 years for a spare part for this grounded spaceship. There is, however, one crucial thing that Winston Niles Rumfoord doesn't know.:- Review(s): "Wacky, sentimental, bitterly funny, 'The Sirens Of Titan' teases at the most sensitive of human preoccupations - who's in charge of creation and what are they doing about it" / "A work of great scope and staggering originality. It's an experience bot to be missed" - Books and Bookmen / "He is doing something unique to genre science fiction. There is nothing at all comparable outside the field" - TLS / "A really good one" - Punch / "A classic, ripe with wit and eloquence and a cascade of inventiveness" - Brian Aldiss / "Wildly funny invention" - Sunday Times:- (original cost £2.95).
