Unstuck in time, the hero of Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five -- an unforgettable Everyman named Billy Pilgrim -- is never sure what part of his life he is going to have to act in next. Vonnegut's wildly imaginative, witty and affecting novel spins back and forth through time, layering in the elements of Billy's life. Like Vonnegut himself, Billy was a World War II draftee and a prisoner of war in Dresden when the Allies firebombed the city early in 1945.
