About this product

Product Information

"Marvelous . . . [Vonnegut] wheels out all the complaints about America and makes them seem fresh, funny, outrageous, hateful and lovable."-- The New York Times In 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. "Free-wheeling, wild and great . . . uniquely Vonnegut."-- Publishers Weekly

  • Breakfast of Champions: A Martini with a Demented Twist

    Kurt Vonnegut takes his readers on a wild, science-fiction-like ride in his novel "Breakfast of Champions": the title a reference to a martini. Sprinkled with a healthy dose Vonnegut's drawings, and his insistence on injecting himself into the narrative to as a guide and to move the story arc along, the tale is a fast and funny read. Vonnegut's alter-ego, Kilgore Trout, the down-on-his-luck science fiction writer, has been invited to give a talk at the grand opening of a center for the arts in Midland City, Ohio by his number one fan, Eliot Rosewater. From that launching point, the book follows its main character- Dwayne Hoover, a business wheeler-dealer in the town of Midland City- down the proverbial rabbit hole into madness, a condition brought on by the work of Kilgore Trout. As ...

  • Good to the Last Drop!

    Breakfast of Champions was my introduction to Kurt Vonnegut several years ago. I was so amused by his "artwork" in the front of the book, that I had see what was to come. I was taken on a wonderfully witty journey through America's apple pie. This is a satirical look at some of the things we seem to value the most. It is like looking at "a day in the life" through googly-eyed glasses. I laughed so much at times. It was a great read!

  • Wheaties and jewels

    Vonnegut, in a seemingly unsophisticated offering, sprinkles jewels of wit, wisdom, and irrevence. Mid-life struggles and musings are threaded into a backdrop for a delightful adventure. Vonnegut jumps in and out of the scenes...sometimes with asides...other times interacting with his characters. The reading is a trip worth taking if you want to have your mind tickled and flexed.
