About this Item

Delacorte Press, 1969. First edition, fifth printing. Good condition. Hand signed bookplate professionally affixed to ffep. Facsimile dust jacket. Kurt Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse-Five" offers a powerful anti-war message through its depiction of the absurdity and horrors of war, particularly the bombing of Dresden during World War II. Vonnegut's innovative narrative structure, where the protagonist becomes "unstuck in time," reflects the chaotic nature of trauma and challenges conventional storytelling. The novel also explores profound philosophical questions about free will and determinism, making readers question the nature of existence. By blending genres like science fiction, autobiography, and satire, "Slaughterhouse-Five" transcends traditional literary boundaries, making it a cornerstone of modern American literature and a timeless critique of the human condition.
