Slaughterhouse Five Kurt Vonnegut's
novel, Slaughterhouse Five, was created from his experiences during
WW II. The novel takes place during "..what he believes to have
been 11 days, he wandered around as an infantry scout, improvising
his own tactics (all his training had been in artillery),
not knowing where the lines were or whether there were any lines,
and living with death in a cartoonic embrace. As a groggy war prisoner
he witnessed the bombing of Dresden, "a terrible thing for the
son of an architect to see." (Wilford Sheed, The Now Generation
Knew Him When, 9-12-69, pg. C9) |
