Slaughterhouse-Five
Kurt Vonnegut
The first-ever graphic novel adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five, an American classic, is one of the world's great anti-war books. Listen: Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time. Billy Pilgrim has read Kilgore Trout, opened a successful optometry business, built a loving family, witnessed the firebombing of Dresden, traveled to the planet Tralfamadore, and met Kurt Vonnegut. Billy Pilgrim's journey is at once a farcical look at the horror and tragedy of war where children are placed on the frontlines and die (so it goes), and a moving examination of what it means to be fallibly human.
