Time-slipping antiwar satire with haunting humanity

If you want a classic that feels freshly immediate, this adaptation makes Vonnegut’s strangeness and sorrow hit in a vivid new way. Billy Pilgrim’s fractured journey through war, trauma, and absurdity feels unsettling, funny, and deeply human all at once. It’s the kind of book readers often remember for how it captures the madness of war without ever losing its compassion.

Description

A critically acclaimed graphic novel adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five. Centered on the firebombing of Dresden, Billy Pilgrim’s odyssey through time reflects the mythic journey of our own fractured lives as we search for meaning in what we fear most. 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. An American classic and one of the world’s seminal antiwar books, Slaughterhouse-Five is faithfully presented in graphic novel form by Eisner Award–winning writer Ryan North (How to Invent A Survival Guide for the Stranded Time Traveler) and Eisner Award–nominated artist Albert Monteys (Universe!).
