Weird at times, clearly purposeful, enjoyed the book, connects to timequake, I don’t remember if Kilgore trout is in slaughterhouse five. He might be. there’s a hospital scene is timequake I find similar to Billy pilgrims hospital scene in slaughterhouse five, not a bad thing just a observation. I like how everything makes sense if you read a bunch of his books.
