ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
Slaughterhouse-Five, by Kurt Vonnegut, tells the story of Billy Pilgrim, an optometrist who becomes "unstuck in time" and experiences his life non-linearly. The narrative jumps between his childhood, his experiences as a soldier in World War II, his capture by the Tralfamadorians, and his later life. The novel explores the devastating effects of war, particularly the bombing of Dresden, through the eyes of a protagonist struggling with trauma. Vonnegut blends elements of science fiction, satire, and autobiography to question traditional narratives about war and heroism, delving into themes of fate, free will, and the search for meaning in a chaotic world.
