Kurt Vonnegut was in 1945 zelf aanwezig in Dresden toen de geallieerden de stad platbombardeerden. Hij overleefde de aanval doordat hij met zijn medegevangenen schuilde in de koelkelders van het slachthuis waar hij als krijgsgevangene tewerkgesteld was. Hij verwerkte deze traumatische ervaring in de aanvankelijk omstreden maar inmiddels klassiek geworden roman Slachthuis vijf. Billy Pelgrim, de hoofdpersoon, staat los van de tijd. Hij gaat slapen als stokoude weduwnaar en wordt wakker op de dag van zijn bruiloft. Hij stapt een deur binnen in 1955 en komt in 1941 weer naar buiten. Hij heeft zijn eigen geboorte en dood vele malen gezien, zegt hij, en bezoekt regelmatig alle gebeurtenissen daartussenin. Alleen zo, volkomen losgeraakt van de realiteit, slaagt Billy erin om de verschrikkingen van Dresden te verwerken. Een verbijsterend meesterwerk dat iedereen gelezen moet hebben.

With Kurt Vonnegut’s seminal anti-war story, Slaughterhouse-Five, Eisner Award-winning writer Ryan North (Unbeatable Squirrel Girl) and Eisner Award-nominated artist Albert Monteys (Universe!) translate a literary classic into comic book form in the tradition of A Wrinkle in Time and Fight Club 2. Billy Pilgrim has read Kilgore Trout and opened a successful optometry business. Billy Pilgrim has built a loving family and witnessed the firebombing of Dresden. Billy Pilgrim has traveled to the planet Tralfamadore and met Kurt Vonnegut. Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time. Slaughterhouse-Five is at once a farcical look at the horror and tragedy of war where children are placed on the frontlines and die (so it goes), and a moving examination of what it means to be a fallible human.

Kurt Vonnegut’s masterpiece, Slaughterhouse-Five is “a desperate, painfully honest attempt to confront the monstrous crimes of the twentieth century” (Time). Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of all time Slaughterhouse-Five, an American classic, is one of the world’s great antiwar books. Centering on the infamous World War II firebombing of Dresden, the novel is the result of what Kurt Vonnegut described as a twenty-three-year struggle to write a book about what he had witnessed as an American prisoner of war. It combines historical fiction, science fiction, autobiography, and satire in an account of the life of Billy Pilgrim, a barber’s son turned draftee turned optometrist turned alien abductee. As Vonnegut had, Billy experiences the destruction of Dresden as a POW. Unlike Vonnegut, he experiences time travel, or coming “unstuck in time.” An instant bestseller, Slaughterhouse-Five made Kurt Vonnegut a cult hero in American literature, a reputation that only strengthened over time, despite his being banned and censored by some libraries and schools for content and language. But it was precisely those elements of Vonnegut’s writing—the political edginess, the genre-bending inventiveness, the frank violence, the transgressive wit—that have inspired generations of readers not just to look differently at the world around them but to find the confidence to say something about it. Authors as wide-ranging as Norman Mailer, John Irving, Michael Crichton, Tim O’Brien, Margaret Atwood, Elizabeth Strout, David Sedaris, Jennifer Egan, and J. K. Rowling have all found inspiration in Vonnegut’s words. Jonathan Safran Foer has described Vonnegut as “the kind of writer who made people—young people especially—want to write.” George Saunders has declared Vonnegut to be “the great, urgent, passionate American writer of our century, who offers us . . . a model of the kind of compassionate thinking that might yet save us from ourselves.” More than fifty years after its initial publication at the height of the Vietnam War, Vonnegut’s portrayal of political disillusionment, PTSD, and postwar anxiety feels as relevant, darkly humorous, and profoundly affecting as ever, an enduring beacon through our own era’s uncertainties.

Deze bundeling brengt essays, kritieken en toespraken bijeen die Salman Rushdie geschreven heeft tussen 2003 en 2020 over schrijvers die veel voor hem hebben betekend. In ‘Taal van de waarheid’ van Salman Rushdie worden inzichtelijke en inspirerende essays, kritieken en toespraken bijeengebracht die zijn status als een van de meest originele denkers van onze tijd verstevigen. Rushdie wordt gevierd als een verteller van de hoogste orde, die waarheden over onze samenleving en cultuur belicht door zijn prachtige, vaak zinderende proza. Deze uitgave bundelt stukken die tussen 2003 en 2020 zijn geschreven en toont het intellectuele engagement van Rushdie tijdens een periode van belangrijke culturele verschuivingen. Rushdie onderzoekt wat schrijvers als Shakespeare, Cervantes, Samuel Beckett, Eudora Welty en Toni Morrison voor hem hebben betekend, zowel op de pagina als – soms – in levenden lijve. Uit een breed scala aan onderwerpen ontstaat een liefdesbrief aan de literatuur zelf.
