About two years after Breakfast of Champions there appeared on the bookstore shelves a tome entitled Venus on the Halfshell by one Kilgore Trout, the name of the writer/protagonist in Breakfast of Champions. It was very Vonnegutian, written in his style, with his humor, et al. Though he never fessed up to it I always contended it was Vonnegut's most delicious lark. In fact, I'm not sure he really denied it either. I'm hoping that maybe there's some posthumous decree that will admit to his authorship on this. But maybe not...maybe he just wanted to leave it alone. Anybody know anything more about this very enticing situation? Venus was a fun and intriguing read, BTW.
