Summary

This book surrounds Kilgore Trout, who is a hermit novelist selling his stories to nudey magazines. Meanwhile Dwayne Hoover is a mentally unstable car salesman living in Midland city. Vonnegut dissects two days down to a novel, as he pieces together, bit by bit, the events leading up to their meeting, and Dwayne Hoover's consequential rampage through a local hotel. His dark humor and aggressive disdain toward censorship creates an air of hubris toward his own species, and the strangeness of their habits, with a chilling satire on our day to day lives, and the mental instability we all have within.
