An odyssey of a story that follows Billy Pilgrims adventures through love and war; life and death; time and space and the ways people cope from trauma and how it reshapes their past, present and future. 

An anti-war novel that encapsulates the desensitization of genocide and the horrors of both war and death. On the surface, this book screams what seem to be a bunch of random nothings, but, it’s not until the end do you hear the meaning of the words and Billy’s story.

Seems like an absurd yet kind of comforting way to think about the atrocity of war
