Listen: Billy Pilgrim has...read Kilgore Trout...opened a successful optometry business...built a loving family...witnessed the firebombing of Dresden...traveled to the planet Tralfamadore...met Kurt Vonnegut...come unstuck in time. Billy Pilgrim's journey is at once a farcical look at the horror and tragedy of war where children are placed on the frontlines and die (so it goes), and a moving examination of what it means to be fallibly human.
