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.

像往常一樣,看英文小說我容易忽略細節,所以說得不見得準確... For an anti-war novel, it is certainly unconventional to start with ' Listen: Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time' and end with 'Poo-tee-weet'. When trying to approach something as majorly ca...
評分《五號屠場》是一部悲傷的小說,悲傷指數達到瞭*****。 當一個人遭到欺虐時,有的人會選擇反抗和報復,而有的人卻選擇忍讓和逃避。當這種欺虐是無可抗拒的時候,怎麼辦?麵對著威蘇威火山的爆發、行刑隊的槍口、地毯式的轟炸、被置於荒謬的體製內、生來的不平等等等諸如此...
評分第一次讀Slaughterhouse Five是在大一暑假。沒過多久就去軍訓瞭。站在黃沙場上的時候我試圖像Billy一樣讓自己跳齣燥熱與乾渴,一頭紮進某一幀的過往或未來。從沒成功過。夜晚坐在涼棚裏我抬頭看見無數繁星,於是試著用想象將自己發射上其中某一顆。同樣隻是失敗。 一年多後再...
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...

評分將戰爭解構的有趣嘗試,非綫性的一生沒有開始也沒有終結,戰俘營的傷寒與凍瘡與乏味窒息的婚後中産生活同時存在,交互進行,被碎片化、荒謬化、進而消解,戰爭沒有意義,婚姻沒有意義,統統都沒有意義,so it goes反復齣現在文中,但如果冥冥中沒有天命,你又該往何處去呢
評分汗~這次偏要讀英文版~
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?
評分牛!比!
