Defying expectations, Kurt Vonnegut Jr. has infused this anti-war tale with a dash of comedy through a funnel of imagination. Whilst the basis of its narrative is historically rooted, its taken perspective plays with form, uniquely shedding new light, generating questions through its musings, and revealing comedy through its peculiarities. By the end, it is evident that war is senseless, and that life is meaningless - if you decide to look for the wrong things.
