SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE (Ryan North / Albert Monteys)

SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE

Adapting by: Ryan North.

Art by: Albert Monteys.

Covers by: Albert Moneys.

Description: Billy Pilgrim has read Kilgore Trout and opened a successful optometry business. Billy Pilgrim has built a loving family and witnessed the firebombing of Dresden. Billy Pilgrim has traveled to the planet Tralfamadore and met Kurt Vonnegut. Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time.

Slaughterhouse-Five is at once a farcical look at the horror and tragedy of war where children are placed on the frontlines and die (so it goes), and a moving examination of what it means to be a fallible human.

Bon sang ! Abattoir cinq ! Je n’ai jamais lu le roman de Kurt Vonnegut mais le film de George Roy Hill m’avait marqué lorsque Canal Plus l’avait diffusé (1983 ? 1984 ?) Un exemple de déconstruction du récit avec d’incessants aller et retour dans le temps (justifiés par l’histoire.)
