About this listen

Eliot Rosewater, a drunk volunteer fireman and president of the fabulously rich Rosewater Foundation, is about to attempt a noble experiment with human nature, with a little help from writer Kilgore Trout. The result is Kurt Vonnegut's funniest satire, an etched-in-acid portrayal of the greed, hypocrisy, and follies of the flesh we are all heir to.

As an added bonus, when you purchase our Audible Modern Vanguard production of Kurt Vonnegut's book, you'll also receive an exclusive Jim Atlas interview. This interview – where James Atlas interviews Gay Talese about the life and work of Kurt Vonnegut – begins as soon as the audiobook ends.

This production is part of our Audible Modern Vanguard line, a collection of important works from groundbreaking authors.©1965 Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (P)2008 Audible, Inc. Fiction Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Literature & Fiction Satire Science Fiction Comedy Witty

Critic reviews

"[Vonnegut] at his wildest best!" ( The New York Times Book Review)
All stars
Most relevant
Vonnegut has so many books with laughter and silliness being the way he makes his point. This is a very simple and enjoyable listen.

I read many of his books 40 years ago and am now starting to re-read/listen to them again. I’m really enjoying the reminder… just one every month or so, so that they don’t all blur into one.

Very entertaining, laughs mixed with thought

Would you try another book written by Kurt Vonnegut or narrated by Eric Michael Summerer?

Vonnegut is one of my favorite authors, but I could not stand the voices Eric gave to most of the cast. Possibly just a preference issue.I'll be back for more Vonnegut without a doubt. I always wondered why I never managed to re-read this book like I had with many of his others, definitely one of his weakest in my eyes.

Perhaps it just wasn't for me
