Venus on the Half-Shell

I was a big fan of Kurt Vonnegut when I was in my teens. This Kilgore Trout pseudonymous fluff (written by Philip José Farmer) is a 1976 edition.

#Throwbackthursday and yet another hideous vintage Scifi book cover to astonish and titillate you 😁 This one is from 1983 and is one of my favourite hideous covers - I mean just look at it! And is it just me, or does that satellite look a bit like a Pokeball?

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Yes it does! 8y

BekahB Wow...just wow. 😂 8y

[DELETED] 2232195534 Looks very Barbarella-ish! Am I dating myself with that reference? That Jane Fonda - what a gal! 8y

JPeterson Haha! Yes! This is on my bookshelf as well - purely bought for the ahh-mazing cover 8y

manifestsanity Kilgore Trout??? Vonnegut?!? Wha?!? 8y

StaceyKondla @manifestsanity Philip Jose Farmer actually wrote as the fictional Kilgore Trout that Vonnegut invented in Slaughterhouse 5. Interesting concept that went well until Farmer and Vonnegut had a falling out 8y

manifestsanity @StaceyKondla I had no idea. How fascinating. Thanks! 8y
