"Vonnegut avoided overly autobiographical interpretations of 'Slaughterhouse-Five' because he didn’t want to be pigeon-holed as a writer traumatized by war." @ThelmaandAlice on Kurt Vonnegut and the genesis of 'Slaughterhouse-Five.' https://t.co/6ybVdtC9P4
Ash Jogalekar is a scientist and science writer.
The bombing created a rare confluence of weather, heat and incendiary charges leading to a firestorm, where hot winds literally sucked people into an inferno. Kurt Vonnegut who was a prisoner of war there enshrined the horror in his book "Slaughterhouse Five". https://t.co/1iWMcAU7bU
Praise for this book
"Very tough and very funny . . . sad and delightful . . . very Vonnegut."--The New York Times
"Splendid . . . a funny book at which you are not permitted to laugh, a sad book without tears."--Life
"Funny, satirical, compelling, outrageous, fanciful, mordant, fecund . . . 'It's too good to be science fiction, ' [the critics] would say. But Vonnegut doesn't care, and you won't care, either, because this is a writer who leaps over genres."--Los Angeles Times
