God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater

Published in 1965, 'God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater' is a postmodernist satire that targets economic inequality and the American class system.

The novel follows Eliot Rosewater, a conscience-stricken millionaire who moves the Rosewater Foundation to his family's hometown in Indiana to dispense love and limited financial aid.

The story introduces Kilgore Trout, a science fiction writer who serves as Eliot's conscience and a symbol of visionary but impoverished creativity.

The novel critiques capitalism, generational wealth, and the cynicism and corruption inherent in the system.

It is known for its witty and ironic style, typical of Vonnegut's work, and explores themes of kindness, generosity, and the human condition.
