29 - Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut

A Novel Adaptation

Poo-tee weet? Get lost in time and space with us as we try to make it through the bombing of Dresden and many trips to Tralfamadorian. We raise a glass to feminism, adore scathing commentary, and try to come up with other words for ‘boring.’ While the movie might hit all the right beats from the book, it also kills the whole point of the book. So it goes.

Our Drinking Game for this Story

Take a drink:

• Every time you read, “So it goes.”
• Every time Billy is on Tralfamadore
• Every time you think the book makes a very important point but you’re maybe just not getting it and need to Google it.
• Every time you remember that feminism has actually come a long way and it is evident in either the books or the movies because women had to live through that. Then drink again to celebrate the distance we’ve come.
