Desayuno de campeones estuvo 56 semanas en la lista de más vendidos de The New York Times. Vuelve el gran fichaje de Blackie Books en el año de su centenario. Una figura más vigente que nunca, como demuestra el esperado estreno del documental que pronto llegará a nuestras pantallas. La gran novela donde zambullirse para entrar en el universo del escritor de culto más querido de todos los tiempos. Todas sus obsesiones, todos sus personajes, todos sus temas, todo su corazón está en esta novela arriesgada, divertidísima y total, que sirve, de paso, como guía para entender el siglo XX (y la historia del mundo). ENGLISH DESCRIPTION “Marvelous... [Vonnegut] wheels out all the complaints about America and makes them seem fresh, funny, outrageous, hateful and lovable.” —The New York Times In Breakfast of Champions, one of Kurt Vonnegut’s most beloved characters, the aging writer Kilgore Trout, finds to his horror that a Midwest car dealer is taking his fiction as truth. What follows is murderously funny satire, as Vonnegut looks at war, sex, racism, success, politics, and pollution in America and reminds us how to see the truth. Breakfast of Champions provides frantic, scattershot satire and a collage of Vonnegut's obsessions. His recurring cast of characters and American landscape was perhaps the most controversial of his canon. “Free-wheeling, wild and great... uniquely Vonnegut.” —Publishers Weekly
