This statement is likely close to the real author’s sensibility, as suggested by the book as a whole. Still, it need not be taken as the last word. Thomas Pughe has underlined the importance of the act of reading in constituting pastoral texts (5) and for Slaughterhouse - Five , many readings are possible, especially from a 21 st century, post-pastoral perspective, which can interpret a seemingly affectless representation of sound not as a marker of an indecipherable mystery but as an invitation, as a possible opening in the text. Vonnegut’s narrator, citing David Irving, refers to 135,000 dead in the bombing of Dresden. Later historians have revised this figure and now refer to 25,000 to 40,000 dead, while Irving has been discredited as a pseudo-historian and Nazi sympathizer. At the time Vonnegut was writing the novel, however, these facts about Irving had not yet emerged.

Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five: Bookmarked. New York: Ig Publishing, 2016. Print. Author and veteran Kurt Vonnegut faced this challenge of processing traumatic memories while trying to establish himself as a writer. A soldier in the US Army who served during the Ardennes Counteroffensive, Vonnegut was captured by the German forces and, as a prisoner, of war witnessed the Allied fire-bombing of Dresden in February 1945. His 1969 novel Slaughterhouse-Five, or The Children's Crusade: A Duty-Dance with Death was his attempt to make sense of a traumatic situation.the above examples, literature simultaneously attests to the desire to blur distinctions between sound and meaning while respecting the fact that these distinctions exist. So where does that leave the reader? Beyond the question of how pastoral sounds are represented, there is the larger question of what they might have to tell us, not only about the text but about ourselves. Interpretation is problematic, but so is a formalist reading that limits itself to the mere description of processes.
