"Slaughterhouse 5 "is a book about World War 2 ... No, sorry, better to say:
" Slaughterhouse 5 "is a book of fiction ...
But even this is correct ...
Retry:
" Slaughterhouse 5 "is an extraordinary book, in the sense out of the ordinary.
Sometimes it is hard for me to categorize a book in a certain genre, even if, in the end, you can condurne the main topics in a category known.
With this novel Vonnegut, his most famous book, is a difficult task.
life of its protagonist, Billy Pilgrim, is mixed with the author's autobiographical tale about the bombing of Dresden in World War 2, which is mixed with a history of travel time that the Pilgrim does, and then with his confinement in the zoo of the distant planet Tralfamadore.
And that, in principle, is the plot.
But in addition to a storyline that fits perfectly into a beautiful mosaic, Vonnegut also puts his view on life and war. It does so by stealth, suddenly.
And when you talk about the death of people giving it will always be a last, personal comment is always the same: "So it goes."
A novel in which, as the author says, there are heroes and heroism, but humble men and women and frightened by their fallacies against their fate.
Mauro Biancaniello
