If what Billy Pilgrim learned from the Tralfamadorians is true, that we will all live forever, no matter how dead we may sometimes seem to be, I am not overjoyed. Still—if I am going to spend eternity visiting this moment and that, I’m grateful that so many of those moments are nice.

Wow, this was really good. Horrifying and gross and very of-its-time writing style (complete with more than a few eye-roll-y choices but whatever), but I liked how it played with structure and narration.
