About me
Cory Clark lives in Lincoln, Nebraska. He is an author who works part time in a coffee shop, so he's basically just a big walking cliche. He enjoys books from all sorts of authors, but credits Neil Gaiman, Philip K. Dick, and the films of David Lynch as his biggest style influences.
Cory lived for four years in Constanta, Romania, and speaks conversational Romanian. He has been to 25 countries and counting, a fact he is obnoxiously proud of.
When Cory is not writing, he loves to watch movies, play basketball, and stare wistfully out of the window and wish that Nebraska had some mountains for god's sake.

Breakfast of Champions
Kurt Vonnegut
-
Published: 1973
Genre: satire, postmodern, absurdism
Satire of American culture is a major theme of the novel, as seen immediately in it’s corporate slogan of a title.

Somehow only my second Vonnegut, and that will change quickly, given how much I am already enjoying this witty and scathing observation of American life.
A dispassionate, matter of fact narrator, relating the events to an audience that knows nothing about humans is such a good narrative choice.
