Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of all time, Slaughterhouse-Five, an American classic, is one of the world's great antiwar books. Centering on the infamous firebombing 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 fear most.

Da avvicinare alla Trilogia della Città di K. Incomprensibile per gli umani.

Too Much Apathy, Not Enough Action

2 stars

I think the only reason for this book's popularity was the Vietnam war. The book is poorly structured and wastes a lot of time to say "it's all pointless."

The thing is: use nihilism for good, Kurt.
