This is a
fictitious novel written by the recurring
Kurt Vonnegut character,
Kilgore Trout. I don't know what it's like but it's probably atrocious.
Ahem, well, this was also a
real novel (
* *), written by
somebody using the name Kilgore Trout.
It is full of the
purple prose characteristic of the Trout style of writing, as seen in excerpts in Vonnegut's novels. The main character,
The Space Wanderer, wanders about space, wondering about the
Mysteries of the Universe, and eventually saving the Galaxy.
When I bought this book in a
used SF Bookstore in the late 1980's, I was convinced it was Kurt Vonnegut because the inside cover clearly states:
This novel was not written by Kurt Vonnegut.
