    To be fair to the person who you replied to - I didn’t know that Vonnegut was a POW in Dresden and survived the firebombing until after I had finished the novel. While reading it I just attributed it to his fantastic imagination and assumed it was all metaphor. Then I learned how much of it was not, in fact, metaphor.
