Breakfast of Champions

Kurt Vonnegut's 'explosive meditation' of a novel Breakfast of Champions (1973) is subtitled Goodbye Blue Monday!. It is peppered with simple, childlike illustrations drawn by the author, and it tells a crazy-quilt story that eventually defies the constraints of the novel format itself. All of this seems to constitute an act of self-liberation, and it is: Vonnegut overhauling his creative world, breathing deeply and toying with the very nature of the novel.

  • ""U Doručku šampiona, jedan od omiljenih Vonegatovih likova, ostarjeli pisac detektivskih romana Kilgor Traut, na sopstveni uzas shvata da jedan trgovac automobilima sa Srednjeg zapada doživljava njegovu prozu kao istinu. Ishod ovog zapleta je ubistveno duhovita satira i Vonegatov osvrt na rat, seks, rasizam, politiku i zagadjenje u Americi, kojim nas on podsjeća na to kako da sagledamo istinu. Kurt Vonegat nam donosi izuzetno kompleksnu čaroliju... On iznosi na vidjelo sve aktuelne probleme Amerike - njen rasizam, nadarenost za uništavanje jezika, tehnološku pohlepu i sebičnost - ali tako da izgledaju svježe, smešno, nevjerovatno, mrsko i ljupko, sve to istovremeno." Njujork Tajms--dust jacket."
  • "Kilgore Trout is a widely published, but unknown writer who is invited to deliver a keynote address at a local arts festival in distant Midland City. Dwayne Hoover is a wealthy businessman who owns much of Midland City. Unfortunately Dwayne is mentally unstable and is undergoing a gradual mental collapse. Kilgore arrives in Midland City and, by happenstance, piques the interest of Dwayne. A confused Dwayne demands a message from Kilgore, who hands over a copy of his novel. Dwayne reads the novel, which purports to be a message from the Creator of the Universe explaining that the reader - in this case Dwayne - is the only individual in the universe with free will. Everyone else is a robot. Dwayne believes the novel to be factual and immediately goes on a violent rampage, severely beating ..."@en
  • "-- -- Reviews were polarized; the novel was celebrated for its bizarre aspects, became the basis of a Bruce Willis movie adaptation whose reviews were not nearly so polarized. (Most critics hated it.) This novel in its freewheeling and deliberately fragmented sequentiality may be the quintessential Vonnegut novel, not necessarily his best, but the work which most truly embodies the range of his talent, cartooned alienation and despair."@en
  • "Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. reads from his novel concerning the intertwining of the lives of Dwayne Hoover, a Midland City car dealer, and Kilgore Trout, the unread author of hundreds of science fiction novels."
