or the children's crusade : a duty-dance with death
The first-ever graphic novel adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five, an American classic, is one of the world's great anti-war books. 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.
