Kilgore Trout

Kilgore Trout is one of the most prolific unheard of sci-fi writers of the 20th century. Trout is credited with writing thousands of short stories and a number of novels. Often as soon as he finished a story he dumped it in the trash bin and started writing the next story. He did not care if you or I read his stories, he wrote them for himself. A majority of Trout’s works were published in 50s-70s era lurid magazines whose sole purpose were to show large breasted women and their nether regions. Trout’s stories were simply filler that allowed the magazines to function under the guise of literary function. The world is better for having had Kilgore Trout participate in the pointless cycle of trips around the sun.
