Champions Of Breakfast

“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

Bref, une histoire vraiment déjantée...

Both are emblematic of a disjointed United States, marked by a flag that never dips, a national anthem filled with questions, and cryptic currency symbols. The country's history is marred by the erasure of indigenous peoples and a government rooted in slavery...
