KilgoreTrout

I was a big fan of Kurt Vonnegut when I was in my teens. This Kilgore Trout pseudonymous fluff (written by Philip José Farmer) is a 1976 edition.

Oh how the world would be different if this was actually in the bible.

Faibka I found this part worthy of some thought as well 5y

GingerAntics @Faibka I really enjoyed his commentary on faith and religion. It would certainly be interesting to see Vonnegut‘s response to all the “thoughts and prayers.” 5y

Faibka @GingerAntics yes, I would love to know his feedback on that! 5y

GingerAntics @Faibka I get the impression that he would have a very creative and wonderful response to all of that BS. (edited) 5y

Faibka @GingerAntics with all that‘s going on right now, he would‘ve had enough material for at least another 20 novels, lol. 5y

GingerAntics @Faibka they would have been great, too!!! 5y

This explains a lot. I think it‘s sad, but true.

Faibka This actually surprised me as I had never thought about it in that way, but yeah. How many unworthy people are currently in power only because they‘re rich and well connected? 5y

GingerAntics @Faibka right? I don‘t understand when or why we started conflating money and power with intelligence and worthiness. 5y

God Bless You, Mr Rosewater | Kurt Vonnegut

pick

One of the funniest books I've read in a while, God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater or Pearls Before Swine is the story of a Rockefeller type heir who leaves New York City, moves to Rosewater, Indiana, gives away his fortune to anybody who asks and loses his mind in the process. The novel introduces Vonnegut's alter ego Kilgore Trout. Highly recommend for an intro to Vonnegut's work #kilgoretrout #toughguybookclub #americanlit #vonnegut
