Book Reviews of Breakfast of Champions: A Novel
Book Review: undeniable truth.
Summary: 5 Stars
This story is the closest we will get to an explanation of the author's deceptively simple fiction. A riot of jokes and prophecy, cartoons and pathos, the book is an antidote to a world which has convinced us of the possibility of a beginning, a middle and an end.Every detail is equally trivial and equally certain; each action is described with balanced judgement and unquenchable humanity.
The book's character is neatly underscored by a startlingly simple defence of modern art which refuses to take the easy route of condemnation and surprises even its author. All human life is here: kindness, stupidity, pain, smut, boredom and laughter - it's a hugely enjoyable read - but the final words will leave you with an ache in side and a terrible sense of loss.
