Vonnegut, Kurt

Slaughterhouse-five, or, The children's crusade a duty-dance with death by Kurt Vonnegut. - Dial Press trade pbk. ed. - New York Dial Press 2005. - 275 p.

"A fourth-generation German-American now living in easy circumstances on Cape Cod (and smoking too much), who, as an American infantry scout hors de combat, as a prisoner of war, witnessed the fire-bombing of Dresden, Germany, "The Florence of the Elbe," a long time ago, and survived to tell the tale. This is a novel somewhat in the telegraphic schizophrenic manner of tales of the planet Tralfamadore, where the flying saucers come from. Peace."
