Notes From Your Bookseller
Vonnegut was a masterpiece machine, but if there is a masterpiece of masterpieces, it's this book right here. It's the improbable blend of real-life horrors, alien abduction, time-travel, and an intoxicatingly dark sense of humor. Pay attention to banned books, and this one is often banned.
Slaughterhous-Five is one of the world's great anti-war books. Centering on the infamous fire-bombing of Dresden, Billy Pilgrim's odyssey through time reflects the mythic journey of our own fractured lives as we search for meaning in what we are afraid to know.
