So fine, FINE, I'm gonna get over myself and admit that I have such a bad book crush on Alison Bechdel and ALSO that maybe I can have a sense of humor about what a fuckin lezzie I am. So. So this first one is weird because some folks in it have the names and physical characteristics of the characters who would eventually make up the ongoing plot, but they are not those characters. It's like an episode of the Twilight Zone, man, but you are on acid! Except less intense.

Slaughterhouse-Five, or, The Children's Crusade: A Duty-Dance with Death is a 1969 semi-autobiographic science fiction-infused anti-war novel by Kurt Vonnegut. It follows the life and experiences of Billy Pilgrim, from his early years, to his time as an American soldier and chaplain's assistant during World War II, to the post-war years, with Billy occasionally traveling through time. The text centers on Billy's capture by the German Army and his survival of the Allied firebombing of Dresden as a prisoner of war, an experience which Vonnegut himself lived through as an American serviceman. The work has been called an example of "unmatched moral clarity" and "one of the most enduring anti-war novels of all time".
