Kurt Vonnegut Jr Player Piano

For Jane - God Bless Her

CONSIDER THE LILLIES OF THE FIELD, HOW THEY GROW:

THEY TOIL NOT, NEITHER DO THEY SPIN;

AND YET I SAY UNTO YOU,

THAT EVEN SOLOMON IN ALL HIS GLORY

WAS NOT ARRAYED LIKE ONE OF THESE . . .

MATTHEW 6:28


"Graham Green has called Mr Vonnegut 'One of the best living American writers,' and it isn't hard to see why" Isabel Quigley, Sunday Telegraph

"From the start of his novelistic career to the present Vonnegut has been a man with a unigue vision seeking and finally the most effective manner of stating it" Harper's

"The best of the science fiction anti-utopias - and indeed the best of the recent anti-utopias - is Vonnegut's brilliantly satiric Player Piano . . . easily one of the most important anti-utopias since Nineteen Elighty-four" Mark Hillegas, The Future as Nightmare

"Player Piano is one great classics of Gadet Age fiction" Life Magazine

"Kurt Vonnegut stands in the some relationship to American science fiction as J.G. Ballard does to the British scene - i.e. supreme" New Worlds
