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

“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...  

“事情就是这样”。 很平淡的一句话。永远跟在与“死亡”相关的一切事情的后面。想去抗争，却没有能力，只能默默接受。想贲发出来，却没有了气力，但是又不能保持沉默，只有将所有的残酷都挤压到这一句话里，麻木里包含有着太多的无奈。对死亡的淡淡的苍白无力的表述，就好像抽...  

《五号屠场》的阅读，终于结束。 昨日睡前读，于是在梦里开始时间旅行。冯内古特式的时间旅行是破碎的，随机的，你并不知道自己会前往何时，你只是前往。随随便便的到达某一个时间，经历一些过去已经经过的事情。 亚当弗尔在《几率游戏》中说，当一件事情发生时，这件事情发生...  

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...  

首先说说版本问题，大叔从网上找了一个电子版来读，封面显示是译林2008虞建华译本，但内容其实是译林1998紫芹（张子清）等人的译本；而现在能买到的纸书是译林2018虞建华译本。10年才出一版，估计印量也不会很大，这本书在国内的接受度可见一斑。很多人对紫芹的版本颇有微词，...  

用户评价

结构新颖，好多经典的东西。God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom always to tell the difference.//time and odd.

构思奇特。虽然主题无非是抗议德雷斯顿轰炸的非人道，但是作为一部科幻小说，大大降低了话题的沉重。Vonnegut小说有个共性，就是都有个视角独特的假设。这点从他的画里也能看出。

时间旅行者的妻子是学这个的……嗯……

finally finished...读到最后十几页的时候嗨了

The author shows the god gives him serenity to accept the things he cannot change. A time traveling book as early as 1969.
