Slaughterhouse-Five

Author: Kurt Vonnegut Jr

Slaughterhouse-Five is a mind-bending journey through time and space, following the life of Billy Pilgrim, a man who becomes “unstuck in time.” Vonnegut’s darkly humorous masterpiece weaves together Billy’s experiences as a POW in Dresden, his mundane post-war life, and his alleged abduction by aliens. It’s a poignant anti-war novel that left me questioning the nature of free will and the human condition. I still find myself pondering its themes long after turning the final page.

Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt.
