In this satirical novel, Vonnegut mines his own experiences as a prisoner of war in World War II. Presenter Dan Owens will tell what this work means to him and explain why you should read (reread) it. No reservations or homework required.
This presentation, in the new JCCC CoLab, is a part of the fall 2016 Great Books Mini-Lecture Series, which is designed to introduce you to watershed texts that have changed their readers’ views of the world. It’s a series of short talks on great books.
The Great Books series is sponsored by the JCCC English/Journalism Common Read program.
