ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"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.
 
Breakfast of Champions provides frantic, scattershot satire and a collage of Vonnegut's obsessions. His recurring cast of characters and American landscape was perhaps the most controversial of his canon.

"Free-wheeling, wild and great... uniquely Vonnegut." -Publishers Weekly
