| Introduction | I am the grandson of Kurt Vonnegut's reoccurring character Kilgore Trout. Odd as it may sound, back in the early 70's my mother had a short tryst with Kilgore's son Leon Trotsky Trout in a short piece of fan-fiction she wrote, and 9 months later, I was born. This has of course placed me in the awkward position of being half-fictional on my father's side, which has led to no end of discrimination. Try getting a job, a passport, or a driver's license with half-fictional credentials! |
