Slaughterhouse 5
An examination of the cultural legacy of Slaughterhouse 5, the best-known novel by American writer Kurt Vonnegut, who died in April. The book uses innovative literary tricks with time travel but focuses largely on its protagonist's experience of the Allied fire-bombing of Dresden during World War II.
On publication in 1969, it was seen both as science fiction and as a political trigger to re-evaluating the carpet bombing of German cities.
