I have a tattoo of one of Vonnegut’s doodles from this book (the ouroboros) and when I pulled the book out during the consult, the artist immediately asked “are you getting the asshole?” I responded no, but I knew at that moment he was the perfect artist to do the tattoo.

This Vonnegut reads a lot like Bukowski.
