Kurt Vonnegut’s enduring anti-war novel rocketed him into fame
by coming to American readers when attitudes were ripe for the sort
of novel he wanted to write, one that fictionalizes his experiences
as a POW in World War II and the trauma of surviving the bombing of
Dresden. In episode 189, Luke & James revel in the unique style of
a master, try to look at death from a Tralfamadorian perspective,
ponder an indecipherable question, and seek the meaning of
life.
And join them next week when they discuss the 1972 film adaptation
by George Roy Hill!
