    		Kilgore Trout can be found in real book lists. He published one real book - Venus on the Half Shell. This caused a bit of bother, because Vonnegut had nothing to do with it. (It was actually by Philip José Farmer, and Vonnegut was reputedly not a happy little bunny...) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Jose_Farmer
