 Cassie is seen reading Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse Five in Help. This is Vonnegut’s best-known work and could be (very simply) described as an ‘anti-war’ novel. It deals with a young American POW (Billy Pilgrim, loosely based on Vonnegut himself) who survives the appalling WW2 fire-bombing of Dresden by the allies. The character of Billy subsequently finds himself “lost in time”, flitting between 1960s America, 1940s Germany, and the planet Tralfamadore. |
