The "real book" begins? Enjoying the ridiculousness of the aliens-- is it a coping mechanism or just silly? A detached, blunt attitude towards death. "So it goes." Very funny, particularly the goofy but apt similes: "The gun made a ripping sound like the opening of the zipper on the fly of God Almighty."

Comedic, imaginative imagery of deeply depressing topics. Jumps in time are smooth, cinematic. Main character is sort of a nothingburger

First chapter is sort of a comedic snarky prologue. The author talks about the intro, climax, and ending of the book, basically spoiling the whole thing but it's entertaining. Very clearly anti-war; the protagonist was a prisoner of war in Dresden and/or might have assisted in the bombing.
