Kurt Vonnegut’s anti-war science fiction novel, Slaughterhouse-Five, first published in 1969, has since become one of the most recognizable postmodern treatments of the notion of fate, free will, and human nature. Vonnegut’s unforgettable characters make their way through the traumas of World War II and into their lives after the war in such bold prose that it is only fitting that they should come to life in this superb first edition copy.
