Page "Kilgore Trout" Paragraph 14

At least one actual published work is attributed to a Kilgore Trout: the novel Venus on the Half-Shell, written by Philip José Farmer but published under the name " Kilgore Trout.

" For some time it was assumed that Vonnegut must have written it ; when the truth of its authorship came out, Vonnegut was reported as being " not amused "; in an issue of the semi-pro zine Science Fiction Review, published by Richard E. Geis, Geis claimed to have received an angry, obscenity-laden telephone call from Vonnegut about what Farmer had said about the book in Geis ' zine.
