This is a First Edition Library facsimile printing of the first edition of Kurt Vonnegut’s first novel, Player Piano. It is pristine, with slipcase, and includes the publisher’s insert. Please excuse the artificial light in the photos; the pages have no yellowing at all. ∞ Kurt Vonnegut was 29 in August 1952 when PLAYER PIANO, his first novel, was published. It’s the only novel he wrote with a linear storyline. His brilliant prose, wit, insight, and humanism are all here. I find Player Piano to be essential reading. It’s not as jocular as a Cat’s Cradle or God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater. What Vonnegut writes in this dystopian novel is prescient. In fact, its relevance seems to grow and grow. It depicts a possible future which still has social classes, individual responsibilities, democracy, and leisure. It is the story of Dr. Paul Proteus, not one of Kurt’s happier subjects, but a far cry from Miller’s Willie Loman or Orwell’s Winston Smith. Paul isn’t in control of his existence despite being in an extremely enviable, privileged social position. The protagonist isn’t a mystery; readers know him before turning a page: the apostle Paul, according to most historians, came after Jesus and all other apostles, as Dr. Proteus’ story begins in a new paradigm, post-World War III. Proteus of ancient Greek mythology was a reluctant prophet, an amorphous child of a god. He is “old man of the sea” in Homer, and Dr. Paul Proteus is president of Ilium. Society is a structure of aptitudes and entitlements, not a maelstrom of individual aspirations and deviations. Industry, community, commerce, and politics are structured with factory-like, utilitarian order. Everything is in little boxes. The individual’s purpose isn’t discoverable. That’s the way the world moves forward, its hardest struggles behind them. About the story, Mr. Vonnegut stated to Playboy in 1973: “I cheerfully ripped off the plot of [Huxley’s] Brave New World, whose plot had been cheerfully ripped off from [Yevgeny Zamyatin] Eugene Zamiatin’s We.” “I was working for General Electric … and I saw a milling machine for cutting the rotorson jet engines… [T]hey had a computer-operated milling machine built to cut theblades, and I was fascinated by that. This was in 1949and the guys who were working on it were foreseeing all sorts of machines being run by little boxes and punched cards…” “Player Piano was my response to the implications of having everything run by little boxes…To have a little clicking box make all the decisions wasn’t a vicious thing to do.But it was too bad for the human beings who got dignity from their jobs.” ∞ First Edition Library created astounding replica volumes along with slipcases for their reprints. This edition was the last faithful reproduction of the original Scribner’s book. It was printed in 1980. Collectors often buy FEL editions for the jackets if their 1st edition’s jacket is damaged or missing. The books are gorgeous reproductions of the originals, exactly as published—in this case, as Player Piano was published by Scribner’s in August, 1952: its dimensions, hues, font, and contour are all true. The slipcase is practical, and has kept this from aging. Easton eventually bought out FEL and switched the production of every subsequent reprint to the uniform, leather volumes. Many collectors like them. Not many books are as ironically reprinted by them however, as Player Piano. This book however was created to place in the reader’s hands a volume identical to that which they might have purchased for $3.00. The design was intentionally meant to resemble a technical manual or textbook from the era. Considering the story, reprinting this like Easton did is deeply ironic. Note: this is not the 1970s reprint by Delacorte Press, which recreated the book club edition and used different color endboards, spine, and the purple dust jacket. Those are often labeled as first editions with a 01-01-1952 publication date. They’re not.
