Kurt Vonncgut's latest novel, Breakfast
of Champions, is available in paperback for
only $1.75. Now it may be within budgets
of readers who lack, as Vonnegut says,
"doodley-squat."
Breakfast of Champions is the self
indulgent work of an author made rich by
his earlier novel, Slaughterhouse-Five, and
by the movie based upon it. The author's
illustrations include immature drawings
such as the one accompanying this review.
Breakfast of Champions is a wonderful
book.
It is dedicated to Phoebe Hurty. "She
taught us to be impolite in conversation
not only about sexual matters, but about
American history and famous heroes,
about the distribution of wealth, about
everything," says Vonnegut,
The book is full of impoliteness.
Vonnegut makes impolite statements
like "1492 was the year sea pirates began
to cheat and rob and kill the people living
in North America."
An incident similar to a recent indi
dent in Nebraska is near the end of the
book.
An artist from New York, Rabo
Karabekian, presents to Midland City a
painting of his which he declares a master
piece. Yet the skeptical Midwesterners of
Midland City hate the painting.
Tension rises until Karabekian explains
the paintings Then the Midwesterners are
happy, believing Midland City does indeed
own a masterpiece.
Recently New York sculptor Bradford
Graves came to Nebraska to explain his
piece of art. His is to be one of eight
sculptures placed along Nebraska's Inter
state 80 in honor of America's
Bicentennial.
But even after Graves's explanation,
many skeptical Nebraskans disliked the art.
MI still think it looks like buffalo chips,"
one woman reportedly remarked.
The illustration accompanying this
review is of that part of a buffalo whence
buffalo chips are issued.
