When Time Becomes a Weapon Against Memory
Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time-and perhaps that's the only way to survive what he's witnessed. One moment he's a successful optometrist in 1960s Ilium, New York, examining a patient's eyes; the next, he's a terrified prisoner of war stumbling through the snow in a woman's coat and frozen boots. This isn't a literary device or a clever metaphor. For Billy, time has become a scrambled film reel, and he's trapped watching his life play out of sequence, unable to control which scene comes next. What sounds like science fiction is actually the most honest depiction of trauma ever written. Because this is what war does-it shatters your relationship with time itself, making the past as vivid and immediate as the present, collapsing decades into a single, endless moment of horror that refuses to stay buried.
