Slaughterhouse-five: A Duty Dance With Death [Lingua Inglese] (utgåvan 1998)

A timey-wimey anti-war novel which depicts the struggle of a prisoner of the war, when the word PTSD wasn't even existed. It makes you think about time, free will, acceptance and coping with bad experiences. The main character was traveling through time and space, so the plot seems jumping all over the place. Which it does make perfect sense if you think this book reflects Tralfamadorian literature which lives in a four-dimensional world. It is kinda hard at first getting on with the pace because this book's plot is somewhat different than Cat's Cradle. Everything is happening at the same time! However, I still love you, Kurt Vonnegut. Can't wait 'til The Sirens of Titans arrived in my hand. Until then, so it goes.

“All time is all time. It does not change. It does not lend itself to warnings or explanations. It simply is. Take it moment by moment, and you will find that we are all, as I've said before, bugs in amber.” ( )

Strikingly powerful book about the utter absurdity of war. ( )
