DescriptionIn "Breakfast of Champions, " one of Kurt Vonnegut's most beloved characters, the aging writer Kilgore Trout, finds to his horror that a Midwest car dealer is taking his fiction as truth. What follows is murderously funny satire, as Vonnegut looks at war, sex, racism, success, politics, and pollution in America and reminds us how to see the truth. Author descriptionKurt Vonnegut's black humor, satiric voice, and incomparable imagination first captured America's attention in" The Sirens of Titan"in 1959 and established him as "a true artist" ("The New York Times") with "Cat's Cradle"""in 1963. He was, as Graham Greene declared, "one of the best living American writers." Mr. Vonnegut passed away in April 2007. |
