About This Item
Used book has very little markings, writing from the previous owner. No DJ. Some bumping, rubbing, creasing, little tears on the top, spine, edges, corners. Outer edges have tanning, browning, stains and foxing. Front, back covers do have stains (Image of actual book). Antiwar. Centering on the infamous World War II firebombing of Dresden, the novel is the result of what Vonnegut describes as a twenty-three-year struggle to write a book about what he himself witnessed as an American prisoner of war. It combines science fiction, autobiography, humor, historical fiction, and satire in an account of the life of Billy Pilgrim, a barber’s son turned draftee turned optometrist turned alien abductee. Billy, like Vonnegut, experiences the destruction of Dresden as a POW, and, as with Vonnegut, it is the defining moment of his life. 1969. U18.
