Kurt Vonnegut's absurdist classic Slaughterhouse-Five introduces us to Billy Pilgrim, a man who becomes 'unstuck in time' after he is abducted by aliens from the planet Tralfamadore. In a plot-scrambling display of virtuosity, we follow Pilgrim simultaneously through all phases of his life, concentrating on his (and Vonnegut's) shattering experience as an American prisoner of war who witnesses the firebombing of Dresden. Slaughterhouse-Five is not only Vonnegut's most powerful book, it is also as important as any written since 1945. Like Catch-22, it fashions the author's experiences in the Second World War into an eloquent and deeply funny plea against butchery in the service of authority. Slaughterhouse-Five boasts the same imagination, humanity, and gleeful appreciation of the absurd found in Vonnegut's other works, but the book's basis in rock-hard, tragic fact gives it unique poignancy -- and humor.

读后感

冯内古特，我终归要读的作家，据说以黑色与幽默称名。可是从这本《五号屠场》里我没看到多少幽默，至多是他不断重复的那句话：“事情就是这样。” 他的叙述，冷静虚无，这是因为他在用特拉玛法多的眼睛来看世界。这种腔调让它蒙上了一层苍凉。那是苍凉的时间，苍凉的人生，无可...  

摘自《作家杂志》 作者：西 飙 这是一条早餐桌上的死讯。惯常的早晨，麦片、牛奶、咖啡和报纸，但在报纸第一版的下方，我瞥见了一张似乎眼熟的照片。我很快反应了过来：哦，是冯尼古特。的确是一个熟人。我想，所有在80年代曾浸泡在外国文学书中的人来说，都会把冯尼古...  

《五号屠场》是一部悲伤的小说，悲伤指数达到了*****。 　　 当一个人遭到欺虐时，有的人会选择反抗和报复，而有的人却选择忍让和逃避。当这种欺虐是无可抗拒的时候，怎么办？面对着威苏威火山的爆发、行刑队的枪口、地毯式的轰炸、被置于荒谬的体制内、生来的不平等等等诸如此...

德累斯顿大轰炸，发生在1945年2月，当第二次世界大战接近尾声，德军处于强弩之末时，英美联军对德国历史名城、工业重镇德累斯顿发动了惨绝人寰的空袭，致使3万五千人~13万五千人遇难，其中大部分是平民。 德累斯顿大轰炸是二战中极具争议的事件之一，包括广岛原子弹、卡廷森...  

像往常一样，看英文小说我容易忽略细节，所以说得不见得准确... 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...

20160711更新：《刻小说的人》里居然提到了古德内特，最特别的地方在于时空穿越写法。是啊，大概有时候就是无法将零散的记忆串联成线吧。

诙谐幽默的文风 玩世不恭的态度 意味深刻的讽刺 原版的读起来很有感觉！

The first novel I learned in Literature class. But the first time I read is in chinese, maybe I'll read it in English once again in this winter holiday

More on the theme of anti-war than sci-fi. Time Travel/sf is rather convenient for carrying out the story and expressing a different philosophy to life/death. The film based on the novel is a successful adaption and loyal to the story.
