[016] Social Science Talks: Slaughterhouse Five, by Kurt Vonnegut
Manage episode 156131756 series 1177764
I have told my sons that they are not under any circumstances to take part in massacres, and that the news of massacres of enemies is not to fill them with satisfaction or glee. I have also told them not to work for companies which make massacre machinery, and to express contempt for people who think we need machinery like that.
This month, we discuss Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut. Chosen by Alex, the book attempts to deliver on the idea of a non-linear narrative and was provoked by the bombing of Dresden in World War II. Join us as we try to figure out if Billy Pilgrim is the author, argue over whether it is an anti-war book and discuss whether the Tralfamadorians are real or not.
