God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater, or Pearls Before Swine by Kurt Vonnegut

A comic masterpiece. Eliot Rosewater, 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 Vonnegut's funniest satire, an etched-in-acid portrayal of the greed, hypocrisy, and follies of the flresh we are all heir to.
