Kurt Vonnegut was born in Indianapolis in 1922. He studied at the universities of Chicago and Tennessee and later began to write short stories for magazines. His first novel, Player Piano, was published in 1951 and since then he has written many novels, among them: The Sirens of Titan (1959), Mother Night (1961), Cat's Cradle (1963), God Bless You Mr Rosewater (1964), Welcome to the Monkey House; a collection of short stories (1968), Breakfast of Champions (1973), Slapstick, or Lonesome No More (1976), Jailbird (1979), Deadeye Dick (1982), Galapagos (1985), Bluebeard (1988) and Hocus Pocus (1990). During the Second World War he was held prisoner in Germany and was present at the bombing of Dresden, an experience which provided the setting for his most famous work to date, Slaughterhouse Five (1969). He has also published a volume of autobiography entitled Palm Sunday (1981) and a collection of essays and speeches, Fates Worse Than Death (1991).
Billy Pilgrim is the son of an American barber. He serves as a chaplain's assistant in World War II, is captured by the Germans, and he survives the largest massacre in European history the fire bombing of Dresden. After the war Billy makes a great deal of money as an optometrist, and on his wedding night he is kidnapped by a flying saucer from the planet Tralfamadore. So begins a modern classic by a master storyteller.

“關於一場大屠殺沒有什麼順乎理智的話可說” 勝利者贊頌偉大的勝利 ,戰敗者粉飾失敗的恥辱 一次又一次的戰爭不過人類史上一次又一次的“自殺未遂” 這部作品給人的感覺非常像看《守望者》時感受——戰爭陰雲籠罩下的壓抑。與前者不同的是,這部作品用現代派的手法,通過意識...
評分馮內古特散漫跳躍的敘述模式與其說是對小說寫作的一種"內斂",到不如說是對詩的一種外延,他同時拓展瞭寫作和想象的雙重空間,在他的文字中,是那麼冷靜,沒有戲劇衝突,沒有故事連續,沒有主要情節,甚至沒有明確的主角,沒有邏輯,有的隻是一些列場景和描寫的拼貼,他用這種像做夢式的...
評分《五號屠場》的閱讀,終於結束。 昨日睡前讀,於是在夢裏開始時間旅行。馮內古特式的時間旅行是破碎的,隨機的,你並不知道自己會前往何時,你隻是前往。隨隨便便的到達某一個時間,經曆一些過去已經經過的事情。 亞當弗爾在《幾率遊戲》中說,當一件事情發生時,這件事情發生...
評分“You know what I say to people when I hear they’re writing anti-war books?” “No. What do you say, Harrison Starr?” “I say, ‘Why don’t you write an anti-glacier book instead?’ ” (Vonnegut 3) Just as Kurt Vonnegut humorously suggests in the introduc...
評分首先說說版本問題,大叔從網上找瞭一個電子版來讀,封麵顯示是譯林2008虞建華譯本,但內容其實是譯林1998紫芹(張子清)等人的譯本;而現在能買到的紙書是譯林2018虞建華譯本。10年纔齣一版,估計印量也不會很大,這本書在國內的接受度可見一斑。很多人對紫芹的版本頗有微詞,...

評分汗~這次偏要讀英文版~
評分特彆棒!!晚上一口氣給讀完瞭。閃迴/時空穿越的寫法很跳亂,但是通讀下來之後就都串起來瞭。感覺整本書就是一本超長的冷笑話。比起沉重的黑色幽默我覺得主人公坦誠的fatalism更讓我覺得難受。
評分fucking masterpiece
評分戰爭不可避免,死亡也是早已注定,整個宇宙的熵增總是無法逆轉。So it goes. Why bothers at all?
