Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-five

Slaughterhouse-five is a postmodern novel that combines elements of science fiction and fantasy with a deeply personal narrative. The story is told from the perspective of Billy Pilgrim, a soldier who survives the firebombing of Dresden during World War II. The novel is known for its non-linear narrative, which jumps between different time periods and realities. Vonnegut's use of dark humor and satirical commentary on the absurdity of war and human existence is a hallmark of the book. more

“WEATHERS This is the weather the cuckoo likes, And so do I; When showers betumble the chestnut spikes, And nestlings fly; And the little brown nightingale bills his best, And they sit outside at 'The Traveller's Rest,' And maids come forth sprig-muslin drest, And citizens dream of the south and west, And so do I. This is the weather the shepherd shuns, And so do I; When beeches drip in browns and duns, And thresh and ply; And hill-hid tides throb, throe on throe, And meadow rivulets overflow, And drops on gate bars hang in a row, And rooks in families homeward go, And so do I.”
