Il romanzo, partendo dal racconto di un incontro fra i due protagonisti
(lo squattrinato scrittore di romanzi fantascientifici Kilgore Trout, e il
ricco rivenditore di Pontiac Dwayne Hoover), si sviluppa come una complessa
riflessione sulla societa americana e sui primi cinquant'anni della vita
di Vonnegut.

Breakfast of Champions, or Goodbye Blue Monday is a 1973 novel by the
American author Kurt Vonnegut. Set in the fictional town of Midland City,
it is the story of "two lonesome, skinny, fairly old white men on a planet
which was dying fast." One of these men, Dwayne Hoover, is a normal-looking
but deeply deranged Pontiac dealer and Burger Chef franchise owner who
becomes obsessed with the writings of the other man, Kilgore Trout, taking
them for literal truth. Trout, a largely unknown pulp science fiction writer
who has appeared in several other Vonnegut novels, looks like a crazy old
man but is in fact relatively sane. As the novel opens, Trout journeys
toward Midland City to appear at a convention where he is destined to meet
Dwayne Hoover and unwittingly inspire him to run amok.
