Perhaps there is a lot of sarcasm in "Slaughterhouse Five", but keep in mind, Vonnegut did spend the night of the Dresden firebombing underneath the city as a POW. If he wants to write about that night sarcastically, I figure
he's entitled.Besides, was Vonnegut really rich and famous when he wrote "Slaughterhouse Five"? I thought the big money and the big fame came with the publication of this work...not before, although I know he was a working writer.
