A searing, hilarious classic, one of the world's great anti-war tales. Centering on the infamous WWII fire-bombing of Dresden, Billy Pilgrim's odyssey through time reflects the mythic journey of our own fractured lives as we search for meaning in what we are afraid to know. "Listening to [Hawke] is like listening to someone tell you a story in the back of a bus – the perfect pitch for this book... Hawke's reading is excellent."—Publishers Weekly
