Slaughterhouse-Five

Recommendation inspired by:
Why should you read Kurt Vonnegut? - Mia Nacamulli


Why we love this book:

Slaughterhouse-Five is quintessential Vonnegut, and quite possibly the most bewildering and psychedelic antiwar book you can pull off the shelf. It twists and loops through devastating war, childhood memory, and alien abductions – all in the signature narrative voice that finds its way into Vonnegut’s best work. Ever-relevant (and ever-controversial – it’s been banned or challenged on close to twenty occasions), Slaughterhouse-Five offers a glimpse into the depths of the human condition in all its destructiveness, vulnerability and kindness.
