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!
