Dear Kilgore,
I have found out about your splendid book, The Gospel From Outer Space, from my good friend Eliot Rosewater. We were both in a veteran's hospital when I met him and we both read your books while we were there. He read The Gospel From Outer Space to me so I got a better picture of what the book was about.
We both believe that your sci-fi works recreate another world for us. The main character in your book makes me think of the Tralfamadorians and my experience on the planet of Tralfamadore 446,120,000,000,000,000 miles away from planet Earth. Tralfamodorians are not like the earthlings here.
The Tralfamadorians are aliens that had kidnapped me and showed me a completely new outlook on life. Every now and then, I can go into different points in my life; either in the past or in the future. FOr example I have been in different places such as the YMCA with my dad when I was a kid or to the day that I died. So it goes.
I really enjoyed your book, especially when I felt like there was not much to enjoy in life. I really liked the part when you were explaining that Jesus was a nobody and everyone thought so until they crucified him. When they did, God came down from heaven and adopted the "bum", showing that he really wasn't a nobody after all. As far as I am concerned, I do not see any room for alterations in this book.
So with that, I bid you farewell.
Sincerely,
Billy Pilgrim
