Slaughterhouse-Five
by Kurt Vonnegut
Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five follows Billy Pilgrim, a WWII soldier who becomes unstuck in time and relives the bombing of Dresden alongside stretches of alien abduction and domestic ordinary life. It's a short, strange, deeply funny anti-war novel for readers who want form to match trauma rather than just describe it.
