Tuesday, Nov. 4 | 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. | 2nd Floor Board Room or Virtual
Slaughterhouse-Five: The Graphic Novel by Kurt Vonnegut and Ryan North
“The first-ever graphic novel adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five, an American classic, is one of the world’s great anti-war books. An American classic and one of the world’s seminal antiwar books, Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five is faithfully presented in graphic novel form for the first time from Eisner Award-winning writer Ryan North (How to Invent Everything: A Survival Guide for the Stranded Time Traveler) and Eisner Award-nominated artist Albert Monteys (Universe!). Listen: Billy Pilgrim has…read Kilgore Trout… opened a successful optometry business… built a loving family… witnessed the firebombing of Dresden… traveled to the planet Tralfamadore… met Kurt Vonnegut… come unstuck in time. Billy Pilgrim’s journey 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 fallibly human.”
Copies of the book are available for check out from the 2nd floor reference desk of the Corvallis-Benton County Public Library – just ask at the desk!
