Slaughterhouse-Five

Kurt Vonnegut

Billy Pilgrim, a World War II soldier and prisoner of war who survived the firebombing of Dresden, becomes 'unstuck in time,' experiencing moments of his life out of order. Vonnegut's anti-war masterpiece blends science fiction with autobiography to confront the absurdity of war.
