Vonnegut's experience as a P.O.W. in Dresden during World War II was the major influence on this classic mind-bending mix of science fiction and postmodernism. The author witnessed the fire-bombing in Dresden in 1945, and it is a central plot element of <I>Slaughterhouse-Five.</B></I> <I>The New York Times</B></I> said of the book that "you'll either love it, or push it back in the science-fiction corner." Millions of readers have grown to love it. The book is in fine condition in a very good, slightly soiled unclipped dust jacket.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Books & Catalogs (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
