Breakfast of Champions - Kurt Vonnegut (CD)
Title: Title: Breakfast of Champions Author: Kurt Vonnegut Genre: General Fiction / Science Fiction & Fantasy Format: CD, 6 CDs, 6 Hours 30 Minutes (Unabridged) Synopsis: Breakfast of Champions is vintage Vonnegut. One of his favorite characters, aging writer Kilgore Trout, finds to his horror that a Midwest car dealer is taking his fiction as truth. The result 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. Review: Library Journal First published in 1973, Breakfast of Champions traces the cross-country journey of the long-suffering sf writer Kilgore Trout, who, to his amazement, is invited to attend an arts festival in a gritty Midwestern town. As Kilgore's picaresque adventure unfolds, Vonnegut drops in barbs on such contemporary American maladies as war, consumerism, racism, and pollution. Written when the author was experimenting with the novel form, this is the kind of book that listeners will either love or hate. It is composed in the simplest prose imaginable, and the original print edition was laced with Vonnegut's own crude line drawings. Those illustrations are naturally missing from this audio edition, but their absence is more than compensated for by actor Stanley Tucci's excellent narration. He reads in a relaxed and detached manner well suited to its content, sounding remarkably like a younger Vonnegut. Recommended for libraries with established devotees.-R.
