Slaughterhouse-Five
Vonnegut's anti-war novel follows Billy Pilgrim, who becomes 'unstuck in time' after surviving the Dresden bombing. Through time travel, fatalism, and dark humor, it explores the absurdity of war and the human need for meaning. The work's 'so it goes' refrain captures its philosophical resignation to mortality.
