God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater,
Or Pearls Before Swine
Narrated by Eric Michael Summerer
Written by Kurt Vonnegut (1965)

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. God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater 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.

'Warm, funny, heart-rending, tragic, and droll all at the same time.'

'Kurt Vonnegut's God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater is an outrageous and savagely funny fantasy about people, their pleasures, pains and perversions, a penetrating satire on insanity and a millionaire's private lunacy. '
