Kurt Vonnegut Slaughterhouse-Five or The Children’s Crusade: A Duty-Dance with Death

A fourth-generation German-American now living in easy circumstances on Cape Cod [and smoking too much], who, as an American infantry scout hors de combat, as a prisoner of war, witnessed the fire-bombing of Dresden, Germany, “The Florence of the Elbe,” a long time ago, and survived to tell the tale.

This is a novel somewhat in the telegraphic schizophrenic manner of tales of the planet Tralfamadore, where the flying saucers come from.

Peace.

For Mary O’Hare and Gerhard Müller.

The cattle are lowing,

The Baby awakes,

But the little Lord Jesus

No crying He makes.
