Slaughterhouse-Five

Our Take

So it goes. Two words that carry every death, and Vonnegut says them so many times they become breathing. Billy Pilgrim unstuck in time is the only honest response to Dresden, to trauma, to a century that ate its young. Funny and catastrophic in exactly equal measure.
