Ep 023 - Breakfast of Champions, by Kurt Vonnegut

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. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
