Book Review: Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut
“Slaughterhouse-Five” is an anti-war novel about the often overlooked tragedy that was the Bombing of Dresden in WWII. In this fictionalized account, Vonnegut transforms his experience by creating the sensitive character of Billy Pilgrim, a barber’s son drafted into the war and then abducted by friendly aliens when he becomes ‘unstuck in time.’
