I really don't know what this sentence means?
"His ulcer gave him a twinge, the ulcer that had grown in size and authority over the years of his career as an interpreter of America to provincial and ignorant notables from backwaters of civilization."
This is from a book "Player Piano" by Kurt Vonnegut.
I have no idea at all.
Please help me out.
Thanks you.
