A classic for a reason, this novel deals with wartime, peacetime, the moments that define a life, the absurdity of life, and our relationship with the concept of time. It is at times funny, earnest, sad, but always reflective. Made with singular vision and wit, Slaughterhouse Five is quintessential Vonnegut.
