Vonnegut is a CRAZY m-f'er. Holy scatterbrain, batman. I suppose random hopping around in the timeline of the story is a really useful device in a book about someone who comes unstuck in time. I hadn't realized before that twice an many people died in the firebombing of Dresden as in the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima. So it goes.

Trout, incidentally, had written a book about a money tree. It had twenty-dollar bills for leaves. Its flowers were government bonds. Its fruit was diamonds. It attracted human beings who killed each other around its roots and made very good fertilizer. So it goes.
