“A Mosaic of Punchlines” ITF Read: Slaughterhouse-Five (1969 novel)

Kurt Vonnegut’s enduring anti-war novel rocketed him into fame by
coming to American readers when attitudes were ripe for the sort
of novel he wanted to write, one that fictionalizes his
experiences as a POW in World War II and the trauma of surviving
the bombing of Dresden. In episode 189, Luke & James revel in
the unique style of a master, try to look at death from a
Tralfamadorian perspective, ponder an indecipherable question,
and seek the meaning of life.

And join them next week when they discuss the 1972 film
adaptation by George Roy Hill!
