Ep 023 - Breakfast of Champions, By Kurt Vonnegut

July 22, 2013  /  Andrew Cunningham

In the book's preface, Vonnegut called Breakfast of Champions  an attempt to "clear his head of all the junk in there." He wasn't kidding. Breakfast  is a melange of narrative, sketches, and character sketches - and Andrew totally dug it. 

This week we discuss current events (specifically royal babies), Vonnegut's voice, and the benefits of self-insertion.
