Slaughterhouse-Five contains nudity, adult language, and depictions of war violence.

Out of the very real horrors he experienced as a World War II POW in Dresden, Kurt Vonnegut crafted the powerful Slaughterhouse-Five. Protagonist Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time and travels between the war in Germany; Illium, New York; and the alien planet Tralfamadore. This fractured tale of the personal fallout of war is laden with Vonnegut’s signature black humor and imagination.
