Quote:
“Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt.”

Description
We finally made it! Slaughterhouse-Five is the entry point for many Vonnegut lovers into his works, and intertwines elements from all of his previous works:

  • Player Piano: The individual struggling against systems beyond their control
  • Sirens of Titan: The potential for human history to be the product of outside influence
  • Mother Night: Reflections on the moral ambiguity and personal cost of war
  • Cat's Cradle: Science and progress as vectors for destruction, and the human need for 'harmless untruths'
  • God Bless You Mr. Rosewater: Wouldn't it be crazy if there was a character named Kilgore Trout that showed up throughout my novels?

Looking forward to the discussion!
