Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut

3.0

---

I did not love this book. I keep trying Vonnegut, and he never seems to click with me as he does with others. This novel is just odd, with the characters in the book interacting with the author ( as a character), random drawings in the book, and a plot that is interleaved with summaries of off the wall sci fi novels by Vonnegut’s recurring Kilgore Trout. The main “plot” with a car salesman losing his mind didn’t really mesh with anything else going on. There’s some clever wordplay and some sharp humor throughout but it never really came together for me.
